When you work closely with someone, you learn a lot about them in the first fifteen minutes. You learn loads more in six months. Imagine what you learn over twenty-five years. It's like you're unknowingly serving a life sentence with no chance of parole, and it's the furthest thing from friends with benefits. A bad economy threw Lizabeth and Richard together. They went into business not looking to make a lifelong commitment but just hoping to keep their heads above water. Over the next two and a half decades, they were unwilling witnesses to the intimate details of each other's lives - marriages, divorces, births and deaths. Want to know what really makes someone tick? Don't ask the person who shares their bed. Ask the poor S.O.B. who has to work with them. You'd get the raw, naked, unflinching truth. If you want to feel sorry for someone, pity their work spouse. They never got a proposal, a ring or a party. They just got the job.
