Saint Luc replied to my apology the same evening. “You’re forgiven.” He called the mix-up a “funny situation”, which it really was once I could get past feeling like a complete jerk/ditz. He’s out of town for a few days, but is willing to try again next week. We’ll see; maybe his was simply being polite to an obviously stressed out old guy. Who wants to have a stroke hanging over you? Still, I am looking forward to the chance to meet him more than ever.
I suggest we meet at a café that isn’t part of a franchise.
ACK -- the curse of chain coffee houses strikes again! :S I'm so sorry to hear that the initial meeting with Luc didn't turn out as expected. Though, I have to say, you got quite the snappy title out of the experience -- "Two Tables for One". Very nice turn of phrase on that one!
ReplyDeleteI hope the first date is an excellent one, though! And hey, you've already got your ice breaker right there. It'll be an inside joke from the moment you meet -- and there's no better way to connect than over a shared gaffe. :)
