No matter how good one’s relationship is, you can never guarantee it can last a lifetime, and so it proved for these soulmates. Everything that begins must come to an end.

Alex Guarnaschelli met Brandon Clark in the Spring of 2006. She was teaching a fish class at the Culinary Education Institute in New York at the time, while Brandon was one of the students.
Clark, a personal jury lawyer, told the New York Times,
I thought she was hilarious. Some people found her intimidating. I found her funny, playful, exciting and adorable.
Brandon, who had developed a crush on Alex, was looking to switch his career and become a professional chef. To avoid mixing ‘romance and cooking’ at the time, he requested a part-time job at Butter, where Alex served as the executive chef. Although they worked together, Brandon could never gather the courage to express his feelings for her.
Brandon, however, would often find the excuse to spend time with her by confiding in her about his school assignment problems.
