I was stunned from the moment we met in the lobby. Claire was casually dressed but so flagrantly beautiful. We ate and drank and talked, and she was generous and interesting in conversation, a young woman with an old soul. I can't recall when the talking slowed and the physicality began, everything just flowed like one big unbroken moment in time. This sort of intimacy is rare for me. I value the memory of it, I remain so very grateful, and I hope to meet Claire again one day.
