Steve would have me say it like this: I fell in love with his bar, and it
was reciprocal, and it was this romance that shaped all my others. At a tender
age, standing in Dickens, I decided that life is a sequence of romances, each
new romance a response to a previous romance. But I was only one of many
romantics in Steve's bar who had reached this conclusion, who believed in this
chain reaction of love. It was this belief, as much as the bar, that united
us, and this is why my story is just one strand in the cord that braided all
our love stories together.
