Learning to Say “I Love You”
<p>The last time I was at a gathering of Monica’s friends, I noticed they stood together in four little groups — colleagues, neighbors, members of her Southside Baptist church, and those from her North Shore church.</p>
<p>I knew no one.</p>
<p>There was no easy explanation for how we’d met. I had to tell the whole story. Most didn’t even know she’d once been an aide to one of Illinois’ US Senators.</p>
<p>I explained that the manufacturing company I worked for planned an event to celebrate its investment in Chicago. I had sent invitations to the media and many politicians.</p>
<p>Monica called me and said the Senator couldn’t make it, but she’d attend on his behalf. She asked if I could find her a ride.</p>
