Jerry tugged at his collar again as we reached his SUV. That was it, I couldn’t take it anymore. I mean, it was really nice that he wanted to dress up for me, but I didn’t want him suffering needlessly. “Here, let me do that,” I said, positioning myself in front of him. I loosened his tie, and undid the top button of his shirt. His sigh of relief brought a smile to my lips. We stood there for what seemed like forever, just staring into each other’s eyes. This felt so natural to me; so right on so many levels. It was as if the universe was letting me know I had found the one…I had found my soul mate.
