Especially after Robyn, an oilfield account manager and engineer, stepped out of the limo and began doing backflips and wound up eating the pavement as she came to meet Sean for the first time. Sean is our bachelor, a virginal Texan who was to winnow the herd of unlikely loves to one final diamond to marry AND. SPEND. THE. REST. OF. HIS. LIFE. WITH.
