Define love. Seriously. I had known her for 15 years, since freshman year of high school for both of us. We were good friends, very compatible, very comfortable sharing anything with each other. But had never dated. Neither of us gave the other that lusty spark that besots adolescents who chase it, thinking it is love.
Then I had a date cancel on me at the last minute for a party my boss was giving, I asked her if she would fill in. Our genitals caught up with our minds and hearts. We eloped a month later.
