TomFor his part, Tom enjoyed himself at the dinner in Bronxville, more than he had in a long time. Perhaps it was because it was a date that he arranged and not one initiated by one of his well-intentioned friends. He enjoyed it, and even more so when he thought about in the following days. So, he mentioned it a few days later, during his weekly check-in call from Andrea. “Date? You want to talk about it?” “Andi, it’s early days yet. She was nice and I enjoyed myself and I think she enjoyed it too. She’s a widow. Works in White Plains. I’ll just have to see how it goes.” He assured her that she would be the first to be told of any advances, and she knew enough to leave it at that.
