"I've never been this excited to meet anyone" he said "Me too" And that was the truth. It was now Friday morning. Arriving once again just in time to save us from the work week dungeon and miraculously, we were both free for the evening.
i was feeling the slow onset of anxiety as he said he would drive to me and where should we meet? My mind goes blank. I try listing off in my head all the nearby spots but visions of running into old high school boyfriends or wading through glitter and sorority girls just flash through my mind….there was the one nearby place, delightfully divey..but what if it's too smokey? What if it's packed?
Ok I am spending way too much energy on this. Screw it. There's a bar on 10 minutes down the road I never go to. "Jay's Tavern, I'll text you the address in a bit" His response was brief as motivation to wrap up the work day lit a fire under both our asses.
5:30 rolls around and I am standing outside with Lindsey, I tell her I am meeting someone tonight for drinks.
