Shortly after our first date, and I literally mean less than a week later, I came down with strep throat.  No big deal, I got it pretty often back then.  However, this time was horrible.  I ended up going to the doctor and learning that I had strep throat, a sinus infection, tonsillitis, an ear infection, and an eye infection.  WHOA. 

I was out of work & class for a few days, so Mr. Robinson came by my apartment to bring me some soup or something.  I can't quite remember.

In the following week, I stopped going out to bars.  I stopped smoking pot.  I stopped selling pot.  I left my old life behind and embraced a life with him, with both arms.

  

That weekend, he took me to meet his parents.  In the car on our way back from his parent's house later that night, was the first time we...
