Summary
Ben is a married man when he first walks into Pawnee's parks department. Leslie is only supposed to be an interesting bright spot in a dull town, not a distraction that keeps him from his job and sends him spiralling.
What starts in conference rooms ends in meetings at midnight—and although Ben and Leslie keep telling themselves they can stop, maybe they can’t. Maybe they’ll make this mistake another million times.
