We first met on a cloudy December day three days before Taylor left for Christmas in South Carolina. Our first date started at Pete's in Harvard Square, where she jumped out of a big black sedan she claimed was an "off-duty" Uber black with her giant gray faux fur coat and waltzed into my life. The next three hours we spent stuffing our faces with Mexican food, getting hot tea, checking out bookstores, and walking through Harvard. I was smiling so much I couldn't keep anything in my mouth and made a huge mess. When it came close to time for her to leave for a holiday work dinner, I was devastated. As a last ditch effort I asked if she would walk with me to Park St. a whole four miles away.... and she said YES! We went on a date every night before she left and have been together ever since.
