Despite moving to Australia together, Maxine Fawcett couldn’t admit her true feelings for Dax. But their new home helped her overcome her fears
Dax and I met at a work Christmas party shortly after I lost my first love to a sudden heart attack. I’d been spending a good amount of time under the covers on my futon (it was the 90s). Even when I emerged, the fog of grief followed me every day.
After that party – and after too many bottles of red – I kissed Dax. But that drunken get-together was the beginning.
