We expected living together to be a change, but not a huge one we'd make coffee together in the mornings and maybe see each other for dinner, but otherwise maintain our busy schedules. Our first year of dating was typical of early-thirty-somethings, a happy whirlwind of weekend day trips and long, tipsy evenings at our favorite bars. When my partner Michael and I moved in together in February 2020, we hadn't had time for many games, cards or otherwise. Sara Barbour is the Senior Production Manager for NPM Creative.
