The following is the conversation between them:
Cornelia Nicholson: Shortly, we have the story of two young journalists who found love in the same field, and reporter Riley Nigel joins us with a special report from the studio.
Meeting 4 years ago
Riley Nigel: That’s right, Cornelia, I have a very special report, for people at home who may not know, Cornelia and I met in Montana on a news station about 4 years ago, and when I first met you I was very attracted to you, you have a very cool personality and you are smart and you always add joy to the room and make everyone laugh, you are really talented especially in the news business, and I think anyone who sees you knows that, you are one of the reasons, or the main reason I stayed in the news business. Today, you always push me to be better at news and other aspects of my life, so I thought it was appropriate to ask you this question here, since we met in the news business.
