I managed to make him laugh until he cried multiple times. I remember asking if I could touch his hair. I left a pair of needle-nose pliers in his truck. This started the first few text messages. Before I knew it, we were talking on the phone every day. That October, he bought a one-way ticket to Texas where I was living. We have been together ever since. Moral: (I think) Make a man crazed with laughter, he will fly to a place he hates and quietly sabotage your home so you move back to Washington. Years later you will be planning a party on a mountain for your friends and family.
