Shana Westlake and her husband
The author and her husband.
  • My secret office romance started during my stint at the official website for Major League Baseball.
  • Working the overnight shift helped me and my now-husband to keep our relationship a secret.
  • Despite challenges, my relationship outlasted our jobs, leading to our marriage. 

It was the middle of the MLB postseason. Boston and Cleveland were matched up in the American League Championship Series, and we had a rare night off of work between games to celebrate a colleague's birthday.
