Francisco and I met in Boston while I was a freshman at Northeastern University, and he was a senior. Despite having mutual friends back home in Venezuela, our paths had never crossed.
I impulsively blew a kiss to Francisco as our eyes met through the window. It was uncharacteristically bold of me, but something inside urged me to do it.
