At one point in time, he did. It all started with My Favorite Date, and we even dated for a few short weeks before I had to leave town. It was magical and amazing when it happened, and I still kick myself for leaving when I did. More than a year later we reunited, but […]

Note: this blog post isn’t for the faint of heart. I use very unladylike language and describe things that are probably better left unsaid. Consider yourself forewarned.
