Story saved

I spent about an hour working up the courage to talk to her. My mate Dave kept pushing me. Eventually I did. I said something ridiculous and she just laughed. We danced three songs in a row. I was terrible but she didn't seem to mind. Fifty years later, I still walk her home.

But when she walked in, the whole room went quiet. I remember thinking: this is the start of everything.
