1995.

Toronto.

Met on the corner of Yonge and Carleton.

Liked her fuzzy gray sweater.

Went to see Total Eclipse. (The amount of Leonardo DiCaprio-on-David Thewlis sex made it less-than-perfect as a first date movie.)

Went to the Living Well. Had coffees and dessert.

Took her back to her place. (Run-down rooming house on Bathurst.)

Talked for a while.

Went home.

Came to the conclusion that she hated me.

Three days later.

Still 1995. Still Toronto.

Played NHL Hockey on Sega Genesis with Otto.

Phone rang.

Answered phone.

Said she had a really nice time and would like to do it again.

Have not — nor ever will — let go of her since.

Was my Awesome Girlfriend.

Now my Lovely Wife.

Happy 10 Years, Sweetie. I love you.

(She’s the one on the right.)
