The night of our first date there was a big wind storm that caused power outages all evening.

Matt arrived two hours early -- neither rain, nor wind, nor traffic would get in his way.

Nadia arrived 20min late, after taking shelter in a Barnes & Nobel (admittedly, a distracting choice).

Neither of us had planned on staying at dinner until closing, but we'd been instantly comfortable with one another. Conversation had flowed freely, and we'd had such nice a time that despite the high winds, late hour, and Wednesday of it all, we just kept talking.

And we've talked every day since.
