I had drinks with a male classmate from back in the day. Our conversation quickly grew intense, and before I knew it, I was drunk. It felt as if time had stopped. Though we'd both been through so much since then, I felt overwhelming happiness at being reunited like this. That emotion welled up inside me, sparking an irresistible urge to be held tightly by him. He opened his arms and accepted me completely. Even with my husband just in the next room, his heart was focused solely on me. In that moment, I realized clearly—those old feelings we once had were still alive, sprouting anew.
