- Beverley Jones started dating Mike Jones (no relation) when she was 17. He was her first boyfriend.
- They broke up after 4 months because Beverly didn't want to settle down. They later wed other people.
- But the couple, then divorcees, found love again 20 years after the split due to a random encounter.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Beverley Jones. It has been edited for length and clarity.
Mike and I met in a bar in our home village in Wales in 1980. He was seven years older than me. I was 17 and looked up to him, finding him very distinguished.
