The author recounts a humorous and unexpected encounter with a stranger after honestly telling him that his fly was down. This awkward yet candid moment led to a connection that blossomed into a two-decade relationship. Initially reluctant to engage romantically, the author, fresh out of a previous relationship, found herself drawn to the stranger's charm when he offered a drink and food as a thank you. What began as a simple act of honesty unfolded into a night of deep conversation and connection, marking the beginning of their long-lasting relationship.
"I'd rather have a corndog," I countered. Mortified doesn't begin to describe what I probably should've felt. I had just told a guy his fly was down."
"When he offered to buy me both and his eyes lingered on mine, I suspected he might like me, and my mortification slipped away."
"We parted ways, me back to my group of friends and he to his. I thought that would be the end of things, but..."
"We sat side-by-side at the bar, ordered beers and corndogs as promised, and started a conversation that lasted until the wee hours of the night."
