Just a hunk, a hunk of burning love ...

Once Upon a Time, before the stress of a new house, moving across the globe, and a pandemic, I had a neighbor. His name was Doug. Doug was from Indiana and had a huge love of laughter and hanging out with friends. Also it's really hard to find restaurants for one person in small Korean towns. So, I became good friends with Sir Doug, Dawn, and Nik. As time passed and people moved on to the next phases of their lives, I found myself one late summer day taking a bus to spend a week in the city. My plan was to stay at Doug's new apartment. Looking out the window as the sun was setting, I hung out with Doug waiting for his other friends to arrive. A girl came through the door. Ripped denim jeans and skateboard in hand, she kicked off her shoes and said "Hi." That would be the first time we ever met.
