Almost four years ago, I fell in love for the first time--twenty-five years too late--and began an affair. Over the years, Kevin and I have met several times a week and email several times a day. I have kept almost all of the emails that I sent to him and that he sent to me. Along the way, there has been laughter and tenderness and heat...and heartache.

This blog is the posting of our daily emails. It chronicles the lives of two people over a four year period so far, and tells the story of our burgeoning love against the backdrop of New York City.

The names and addresses have been changed to protect the innocent; the rest is 100% real.

The daily update structure helps keep the blog as authentic as possible as well as living up to its title. It also strives to provide the reader with the kind of pleasure that a soap opera offers--a daily dose of voyeuristic fun.

Please begin at the beginning, otherwise, little will make sense.

Enjoy.

A Couple

Good morning HFG,

How are you today?  I have a bunch of meetings.  I am going to try to spend the day in Times Square.  It will be a nice change of pace.  I think I am having lunch with a friend of mine.  He used to work at MTV and now works for major league soccer.  What is on your agenda?

I am really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.  I have been looking at restaurants in Chelsea.  There are so many.  Take a look at Tre Dici.  I got a reservation for 5:30.  Did you say you were going to walk uptown to Chelsea from Downtown?  Maybe we could meet near my office.  It might give us more time together.  Let me know what you think.

I'm typing on my phone so forgive any typeos. I thought we were supposed to meet at 4. The restaurant looks nice but it seems too formal-more restaurant than lounge or bar with food-to meet there any earlier for dinner.

I'm done at the doctor's the latest at 3:30. I'll be at 111 Broadway which is Wall Street. I could’ve walked up until you would be ready to meet, but there is supposed to be a thunderstorm at around 4. So if you have to meet later, I can cab it to some department store, and hang out there, in which case let's make it midtown east.

What do u think?

Lunch was nice.  He got a really cool job.  He is happy.

I made the reservation for 5:30 because it was a better time for dinner.  I figured we could meet somewhere else and move on to the restaurant.  I can make it at 4.  Let's meet at Gaslight.  There are lots of restaurants nearby.

Great.

I've been out all day typing on this tiny screen so pardon the brevity.  After my appointment I'll take a cab to gaslight. Meet u there at 4. Then if we feel like it we can walk to the restaurant for 5:30. I don't care where we end up. In this case it really is the company that counts :)

Im so happy I get to see u tomorrow!

Xoxoxo

How was your day?  Mine was a little hectic but got better by the end.

I talk to you in my head all the time, but by this time, I'm too exhausted to write. You've been fairly telegraphic too. I'm looking forward to tomorrow too. We'll have plenty of time to catch up.

I love you,

Me.
