On a Sunday afternoon when nothing particularly noteworthy was happening, my heart was captivated by Mel's lightness, affection, attentiveness, and humor. A complete woman, cultured and who knows what she wants from life. She values herself and the company she shares her time with. I opened up completely, and the response I received was indescribable. And the high point of that afternoon (or high points) was unexpected, inexplicable, intoxicating, and crowned this encounter in a memorable way, I hope for both of us.
