December 5 Night out. Did you have a night out with friends or a loved one that rocked your world? Who was there? What was the highlight of the night?
This is the story of the night that almost was. The night that I very much regret did not happen. The night I am hoping might still happen. This is not a love story, but it is a story about love that might possibly be. About a voice at the end of a phone that sounded like all those voices of my childhood, that mocked surprise when I shared with him that he had a Maryland accent. This is the story of an unusually cold and rainy night spent sharing pizza with my favourite aunt and uncle, a dinner full of laughs and an incredulous story about a cruise ship trip going terribly awry, a night when I had other plans that had to be changed because family is sometimes more important than a possible affair of the heart. This is a story about the vegetarian dinner I still plan to collect, the hug I still want, the man I am determined to meet and to know much better. This is the story about you. I still plan to have dinner with you the very next time my heart and head land in D.C.
