By chance, three years before they met, they both attended a play at the Ambassadors Theatre in London. Seated rows apart, their paths failed to cross.

Had they met that night, they would have had a drink at the theatre bar. Later that year they would have married. By now, they would have had a daughter called Grace.

Years later, they met online and, discovering their shared love of theatre, decided to go to a play at the Ambassadors on their first date.

“Strange, just had a feeling of déjà vu,” he said.

She touched his hand and smiled. “Me too.”
