An Addendum
i decided to throw myself a little party of my own and went to the grocery store to pick up some treats. i forgot my phone at home, and had the fleeting thought that it would be absolutely true to form if he called me while i was gone to invite me to the "bachelor" bonfire.
i must have the Sight.
a message was waiting for me when i got back – from him. "i’ve been told i’m allowed to invite yoooou … give me a call when you get this!" *insert the sound of silly-grin-voice here*
it’s 45 minutes away, i just bought two six-packs, and i’ll be damned if i drive out there all by myself this late and then drive BACK.
how kind. an invitation three hours after the party starts.
i’m honored.
