2825. Best friends © Bruce Goodman 25 August 2023

Siobhan: Oh Africa. I’ve found the perfect man. He’s the one. At lunchtime in the cafeteria. He came with his coffee and said ever so politely, “Excuse me. Is this seat taken? Do you mind if I join you?” Well, his wonderful personality matches his handsome looks. He’s about six foot two and is studying medicine at the university. A doctor! I never thought I’d end up marrying a doctor. I’m sure he’s going to be the one, we got on so well. He asked me out on a date. Not tonight because he’s busy he said. But tomorrow night. I’m beside myself. His name’s Theodore Satterley-Barker. You’ll have to help me choose what to wear. Africa: Well Siobhan, if good things come in threes then they must come in twos as well. I was at the bank and was waiting in line and the most gorgeous man standing behind me started chatting. He’s everything you said your friend was only more. I’m not sure if he’s studying to be a doctor. Maybe a lawyer or something. He seemed really bright. He looks to be over six feet! I must confess I don’t even know his name. I’d imagine it’s something sophisticated like your Theodore Satterley-Barker. I know he’s going to be the one. I feel it in my bones. But I’m one step ahead of you! He asked me out. TONIGHT! Siobhan: How exciting! We should perhaps start planning a double wedding! Contact Author Back to Index Next Story Previous Story
