bout two weeks after my ex and I started dating, I wrote a story about him. This was rather brave, and foolish, as I had no idea how he would react to being quoted, possibly misquoted, alternately lionized and embarrassed. He was pretty nice about it. Maybe he even liked it. Which is good, because he got a lot more of it. Today, in Nerve: Part four in my “Crying in Restaurants” series, in which I revisit the first tenuous months of our relationship. He was pretty nice about this one, too.
