I just missed mine. Feeling pretty stupid right now. Hopefully your stories will cheer me up.

A bit different one:

The year was 2010, and I was living abroad at the time. I was visiting the old country for a few days to renew my passport, and the day before I was supposed to fly back to where I lived, two things happened:

  • Ran into this FWB i knew before moving abroad.
  • Eyjafjallajökull had a volcanic eruption, shutting down air traffic in all of northern Europe.

Long story short, my FWB and I reconnected in the extra time I was given, and things developed further than they ever had before. Today we have a house and four kids together. I think it's getting serious.

You can't be too sure about that. They could just be being nice. Maybe they are like that with everyone. Better play it safe and burn the house down to see how they really feel.

I love this story.

FWB? Frightful White Boy?
