BackDrifter....

I was wondering if you found out who your mystery love was from Waitrose??

[Backdrifter]

Not yet, but thanks for asking

turkey, what a coincidence - not much more than 1 hour after replying to you yesterday, she got on the bus as I was on my way home, and sat across the aisle from me and slightly forward. It's the first time in ages I've seen her, since the summer when it was hot and she wore light flowery dresses and sandals. This time she was dressed more autumnally, in a lovely coat, jeans and big clumpy brown suede boots. The jeans were tucked into the boots, which I really don't like, but it's a minor quibble.

She always looks very slightly flustered and dishevelled, like she's just rushed from somewhere. Man, I love that! Anyway, the crowded top deck of the 281 with her in front of me on the other side of the aisle wasn't very conducive to starting anything. We did briefly make eye contact as I went down stairs... I live for those moments!

you should have spoken to her!

[Backdrifter]

Ah, but what would I say? (he asked, 13 months later).

Do you know, that might be the last time I ever saw her. Unusually, one time I saw her in the morning - the only time I've spotted her other than on my way home. But as far as I can recall, I haven't seen her this year at all.

Sigh... wherever she is, I'm sure she's still just as cute and slightly flustered-looking. She's so ADORABLE!
