After our last day of grad school, my friends decided to celebrate by going up to my friend Alex’s family cottage. Alex also invited his childhood friend Don, who I’d met briefly at a party once a few years ago. He got to the party just as I was leaving and Alex later mentioned that Don had asked about me after I left. I was pretty excited since I remember he was a good looking guy.
On the day of the trip, Alex picked up his girlfriend and our friends Kev and Luke before picking me up. Kev and Luke joked the whole ride to Don’s about who’ll get to share a room with me. When we got to Don’s, he was already waiting on the bench outside his apartment building. Alex got out to greet him and he beamed at Alex and they did one of those high five hugs.
Don was a lot handsomer than I remembered. His wavy hair that had previously lay limply on his head was now styled and pushed out of his face. His body was built and broad. He slung his duffel bag over his shoulder which showed off his well-defined biceps.
