Almost three years ago, it was a random September afternoon at 44 North Coffee in Stonington....I (Kira) had been serving coffee and various drinks all day and I was finally getting a quiet moment...when in walked Thomas. I'd never met him before, but there was immediately just something about him that I knew was different...the kind in his eyes, the warmth in his smile...I instantly felt comfortable with him. There was no denying there was an instant connection there, our souls recognizing something in one another.
