What you did next, I would have never believed that any person would have the audacity to do. Here I was, a person you had just met, and you reached clear across the table and swiped the mug I was drinking from straight out of my hands.

Who does that kind of thing? I remember thinking as I watched the slow bob of your Adam’s apple as you drank the whole cup of hot tea without coming up for air.

Riegel: Would you look at that? It appears that you are in need of another drink.

Cosmo: That was really rude.

Riegel: Maybe. But a desperate man does desperate things.

Cosmo: What on earth could you be so desperate for that you would do something so obnoxious?

Riegel: I want you to notice me.

It was that moment that I looked at you. Really looked at you, taking in the gentle tug of the smile on your face. That was all it took for me to know…

I was doomed to fall in love.
