We laughed and hugged immediately as we used to work in the same building about a decade ago and went on a date or two.
Conversation flowed for five hours without letup; we covered everything from family and Christmas to Paris and Istanbul.
Among many things, the date made me realise how less awkward I am now than I was in my 20s.
Every week, two strangers are paired up for dinner and drinks, and then spill the beans to us.
