Nadine and I went to our usual rendezvous place at Calea Cafe and I brought her a present. It was a copy of one of my favorite books, The Wedding. She ultimately cried when she read the dedication. I remember it went something like, 

“Dearest Nadine, I’m giving you this book because I want you to hang on to that fairytale dream, that one true love we all deserve… “

We are a cheesy pair.
