Back in the day.
Long ago.
Five days after Rudy and I met.
He called me.
Called me at home.
Where I was living with my parents.
…
I’m almost certain we met on a Saturday night.
At a Tupperware™ party.
Of all places.
…
We talked.
We laughed.
I gave him my phone number.
…
So.
The next week.
When I said hello.
Talking into the house phone.
He murmured into my ear.
Do you remember me?
Of course I remember you, I said quietly.
…
We talked.
We laughed.
And agreed to chat again.
On the following Thursday.
…
Always on a Thursday.
…
On and on it went.
For several weeks.
…
Until.
One night.
We had an unexpected encounter.
…
We sat together.
We talked.
A lot.
About life.
…
As simple as that.
…
When he called.
Again.
After another week’s passing.
I agreed to an official date.
…
Because.
Well.
My instincts told me to.
Told me.
That Rudy was my future.

That’s so sweet and so nice to think back to what it was.
