I sit at a reserved table at one of the most exclusive restaurants in NYC
I fix my tie and pull my sleeve up to check the time on my watch “8:03 PM”
I start to think she isn’t coming, when I see her, in a dark blue cocktail dress, walk over with the hostess
I stand quickly and pull out her chair
I go sit back down on my side
Hello I say, studying her features in the low light
“Hello” she hums back, maintaining eye contact
Thank you for meeting with me i say
