And then as things started to progress between Min and Dean, along came a most wonderful person and new best friend to Min, the pure and adorable Diahanna Bugarin, who made Min's world different and better and more interesting. But Diahanna affected Min in negative ways as well and jeopardized any chance of Min and Dean getting together. Soon the communication between Min, Dean and Diahanna became as captivating as some of the pictures Min took of local male Siamese fighting fish.
