Story of my life

Chapter 17

I think it was on the third date that week that I

really fell in love. We were deep under the ground

in the chilly caverns and listening to the tour guide

as she lectured on stalactites and stalagmites,

when Matthew wrapped his arms around me from

behind and just held me there as we stood. I can’t

explain it, but it just felt… RIGHT.

A few days after he went home to California, on

Valentine’s Day 2009, I received a very special

delivery while I was at work – a gift that would

turn out to be one of the most amazing and

romantic things I’ve ever been given.
