“Have fun.” Daisy grabbed the remote and turned on the TV.

I went to my room and closed the door, crawling under the blankets to talk to him.

I love late at night. I have a roommate, and she’s my best friend, but she’s a morning person. I’m more quiet than she is, and at night when she slows down, I feel like I can breathe a little better.

BigCityConvert

Same. Not the roommate part, but the slowing down and able to breathe part.

What do you like to do in the evenings?

BigCityConvert

Go for a drive. I love to get out and clear my head. What about you?

ThisIsAwkward

I’m not a car person. I prefer to sit and read a book. Something quiet. Something alone. I spend a lot of time with people during the day and like to have time alone at night.

BigCityConvert

Me, too. I work in a busy place, but driving has always been a way for me to clear my head. Head up the river and find a small place for something to eat.

Favorite food?

BigCityConvert

Tough question. There’s not much I don’t like, but I think favorite is anything on the grill. It’s a treat I don’t get to enjoy often.

ThisIsAwkward

We don’t ever grill. I like it. Reminds me of my childhood. My dad loved to grill in the summer.

BigCityConvert

Did you grow up in the area?

I hesitated. We hadn’t shared a lot of personal information. We’d been talking for a month, and it made sense he was pushing to learn more.

I drew a breath and answered.

ThisIsAwkward

A little north, but yeah, in the Thousand Islands. You?

BigCityConvert

No, not even close. Down state, closer to NYC.

What brought you up here?
