My girlfriend came back to campus early this afternoon. By some stroke of fate, we arrived at South Station from our respective ends at the same time, with the phone call announcing her arrival coming when we were in fact within a hundred feet of one another. It was a heartfelt reunion, the way her face suddenly lit up (my presence then was somewhat of a surprise, perhaps), and we shared a magnificent hug before I pointed her to the vase of irises and an unknown pink flower, as well as a boot box with my home-baked fruit tart in it (which I had spent countless hours trying to learn and calibrate). We spent most of the afternoon and evening talking, cuddling, unpacking, and reading a little … blast from the past that she brought from home, shall we say :).
