After the intensity of her healing work, Sheleana felt footing return within a couple of months and declared she would be single for three years. Seven or eight months later, after multiple failed attempts to arrange a meeting, she bumped into Ben at a coffee shop — unbrushed hair, pajamas, no artifice. The recognition was immediate and physical: she wrapped her arms around him to warm him up and denied to herself that this was happening. Ben, who had planned to stay single until 35, eventually married her at 35.
