What do we remember about the beginning? Her smile and his handshake. It was Melissa's first week on the job when introductions were made and Clyde offered to take her to lunch when she had the chance to visit his library during her tour of libraries. And though that lunch did not occur, the first date happened only a couple months later. And the one word we can say about that is - surprising - and it didn't just include lunch. It was an 8-hour date! Totally unexpected and unplanned on both sides. We shared stories, played games, asked questions, tried new foods, and had a couple adventures.
