How I loved him! We spent the rest of the summer walking, dancing at the same bar we met, and were together every minute we could manage. Nick was incredibly smart, liked ‘numbers’ something I am terrible at, and we would talk for hours about everything from world problems to mundane everyday events. I have always been one of those people that likes the underdog, takes in stray animals and wounded birds, and especially admires those that make success stories out of sheer will power and hard work and Nick fell into that category with flying colors. He also had a son from his previous marriage that would stay with him every second weekend. He was on disability from the accident and trying to make ends meet on a limited income. We also loved walking, looking for rocks, for gold, and old mines. He had a little Jack Russell terrier that was quite wild, and I had three dogs of my own.
We had a lot in common and as Nick said we complimented each other. He was staying with his mother and stepdad and I was working and living about ten miles from where they lived.
Nick was taking a two year business management/accounting course and was about to begin the second year. I loved his smile, his sparkling blue eyes, and his outlook on life. I wasn’t in the habit of doing that sort of thing but there was just something about him, I was hooked.
Destiny I thought! We talked for hours and drank a lot of beer. He came into the bar holding a cane that helped support his limp – he later told me it was the result of a vehicle accident a year earlier. I had been playing ball in a slo pitch tournament since early morning, and I was hot and sweaty and had two incredibly black eyes from being hit in the face by a rogue ball three nights earlier. Nick and I met in a bar, probably not the most romantic or unique setting but that was the way it happened and I fell in love just like that.
