You know, I, uh used to be married once. Well, not legally, but yeah. I guess I don't really talk about it much anymore. Eric and I... We met in D.C., and there was just this instant connection, you know, and he asked me out that night. And I said no, and I kept saying no for the next six months. Why? I'm not sure. I guess I thought I was too busy or that I wasn't ready. Maybe I was just afraid. But eventually I said yes, and our time together, those years in Alexandria... it was the happiest moments of my life. You know, after he died, I thought, I'd give anything to take back just one of those nos so that we could have one more day together.
