We started just chatting, two old-fashioned folks who worked crazy hours. We had so much in common and so much to say, that the hours just ran on and on. We met to play board games and share meals, enjoying all the cheesy activities, from bowling to the planetarium. Soon we were sharing every detail of our days, our lives, our dreams, and fears. We had such a special connection, such a safe place, that it took us some time before we realized that there was something more. And, as traditional as we are, we knew it would be up to Andrew to decide whether it was worth the risk pursuing something beyond a great friendship...good thing he finally took the hint and did something about it, lol! And the rest, as they should say, is the future...
