It was a brunch date. October 17th, 2010 if you ask me. In the fall a couple years ago if you ask him. Just before I parked, I saw him waiting on this bench outside of a neighborhood cafe.
He was so handsome, my heart skipped a beat.
I knew he had a personality from his emails. When I offered to meet him halfway between our homes, he refused, saying he'd make the trip to me using his compass and maps. He was a smart ass and I liked it. In person, he was confident with a side of silly. Guarded for sure, but fun. His hug at the end of the date told me all I needed to know. It was a full-body, sincere, steal-the-breath-from-your-lungs kind of hug.
Less sappy coming soon.
