Eventually Alec "found time" to take me out. He showed up at the dorms of Pace University in his best French outfit: brown leather jacket, scarf tied in the European way and a BERET. I still went out with him. I found him amusing with the estories of the German girlfriend that gave him enourmous grief and his decision to go to college after 4 years in the navy and one year bumming around in Europe.
He took me to a bar with the longest counter and I decided to kiss him to see if was good. It was good but I sent him home anyway... no sleeping in the dorm that night...
