It all started with a DNS lookup. Then a message destructured into hundreds of separate packages. The packages traveled across state lines in the split of a second. They were jeering and zipping with excitement. Serialized in a specific order, such that they were constructed back into a message. And finally the message was received. Online. We met online :) Peter drove four hours to Palm Desert two weeks later and Rue, who is wary of strangers, ran up right up to him. We hit it off and after 8 hours we didn't want the date to end. The dating never ended.
