Part 3

It is November 23, 1991. It had been almost a year since I had unsuccessfully attempted to call Handsome. I had given up all hope of ever seeing him again and I was ready to move on. I had just gotten off from work and was on my way to a party that one of my co-workers was giving. As I was driving to the party, I was in somewhat of a daze. I pulled up to a stoplight, and casually looked over at the car next to me. I noticed someone was looking at me and I turned away, of course. It was then that it registered who it was. I turned to look again, and sure enough, it was Handsome! My heart was racing and all I could think was, "I'm not letting him get away this time!"

We rolled down our windows and agreed to stop at the next gas station. Upon arriving, we got out of our cars and gave each other a big hug. He had a friend with him, who was not too pleased about stopping. Handsome asked me what I was doing, I told him I was going to a party. He mentioned they were looking for a party to go to, so I invited them to tag along. (Follow up note: they were looking for a specific party, which happened to be the one I was going to. After 15 years, that bit of information was cleared up) His friend was really not pleased about being left to the wolves at a party full of strangers while Handsome and I caught up on our lives. As it turned out, his friend knew the host and was the life of the party. Handsome and I stayed on the sidelines and spent the whole night talking.

I told him about my attempt to call. He was puzzled that he never received the message as he was already living at home by then. He had been engaged up until a month ago. Turned out, she wasn't faithful and he broke off the engagement. We were inseparable from that point on.

We went out on our first date two days later, at which time, Handsome insisted that we meet our parents. I told him all about the thoughts I had over the years and he didn't run away! He seemed THRILLED and enamored with me. I later asked him how it was that I didn't run him off. He said he was ready to be married and have a family and thought that he was well on his way with his ex-fiance. I guess I had all that he was looking for in a wife as we were married June 14, 1993.
