Mike's cell phone # (for which mine was also exchanged)
Hanging out with Mike from 1-3 am
A hundred or so of his awesome and dazzling smiles that made me melt in the diner booth
A hug and kiss on the cheek goodnight
What I lost:
Ritchie as a friend
Patience
Kindness
I will say that I was surprised when Mike agreed to meet me, after I textmsg'd him with "Really sorry; bad stuff happened -- I'll email you tomorrow."
"Is everything okay?"
"Yeah... I'll email you a quick note about it tomorrow."
"Do you want me to meet you somewhere?"
So we met at the diner, and I had to explain just why it might not be a good idea for him to try to talk to Ritchie any time soon... What a fucking mess. I can't even write about it right now...
