bedbugs

Great line in this NYT story about bedbugs:

Still, for Ms. [Kellianne] Scanlan [, a 30-year-old Washington Heights hairstylist], there has been a silver lining. The night after she discovered the bugs, she went out drinking, intent on avoiding her own bed. That evening she met a man at a bar, and, contrary to her usual instincts, accompanied him to his apartment. An encounter partly born of desperation soon blossomed into something more, she said.

“We’ve been together ever since,” Ms. Scanlan said with a smile. “Thanks to the bedbugs, I’ve fallen in love.”
