so, i nervously pulled the chair out and sat down. what happened next is one of andy and i's favorite memories of this moment.
i sat my phone down on the table with the screen side down and my cool new hippie-like-graphic phone cover side up. andy picked up my phone to admire the cool new hippie-like-graphic phone cover and my first words to him were, "umm...please don't touch my things."
we laughed. and just like that, everything felt like it was supposed to. we talked for most of the night, catching up. he shared with me that he and his girlfriend had just broken up that week and he was looking forward to enjoying the rest of his summer with his friends before heading back to finish his senior year at millersville in the fall. sound familiar?
when he left that night with adam, he texted me from his car to say how nice it was to see me and that we should plan to get together that weekend to continue catching up. the plans were made to casually get together and hang out on his mom's boyfriend's boat on the river.
it was a strange feeling, waiting for him to pick me up that night. it was like déjà vu. this had all happened before, but now i was lucky enough to relive it again.
when we got to the boat, everything felt so natural. like three years really hadn't passed by. we talked about so many things, just trying to make up for lost time. i never wanted that night to end. this was it. we found our way back to one another.
when it was time to head home, i knew there was one thing left i had to tell him. with tears in my eyes and an honest heart, i told him that over those years apart, it didn't matter who i was with or what i was doing, there wasn't a day i didn't think of him and wish i was sharing that moment with him. he hugged me so tight, and shared the same confession.
just like that we were us again. weird and crazy in love. august '08.
so, this is where i end the story of how we came to be. and this time i can say, "...and we lived happily ever after."
