Part-time lover, full-time friend
Some of you will know the hubs and I work just across the street from each other.
Yet for the past month and a half since I have been here, we have never met up for a proper lunch. Not that I minded - we are just so used to doing our own thang in the day and I know how manic his schedule is like on a usual workday.
So anyway, a while back, this topic somehow came up and I gently (and teasingly) chided him for not making the effort to take his wifey out for a 'welcome to the neighbourhood' treat or showing me around his purported neck of the woods ;)
I didn't think much of it after that but he must have gone away and chewed on it for a bit because today, over our breakfast of croissants and orange juice, he tossed up an interesting proposition out of the blue.
He offered to me all his Wednesday lunches. He mentioned a specific time and place to meet and told me to just turn up. Just the two of us, he said.
I smiled, touched by the thought. Okay, deal, I replied.
