There was this girl in high school. I took a real shine to her.. very pretty, and quite brilliant too. A little on the introverted side I dare say, just like me. It didn't take me long to become smitten. I made an extremely awkward advance and received what was, I think I am fair in saying, an equally awkward refusal. And that was the end of it.
I saw her at the class reunion. I'm afraid the passing years have only served to enhance all those qualities that attracted me to her in the first place, and I had to swallow my considerable regrets as I engaged in the typical "Hi, how are you doing, I heard you were at X, that's great for you, really, you got promoted, have you heard from Y, I thought he was coming but then he changed his mind" exchange.
