But I happened to be additionally an author whom worked from your home, one whoever closest buddies had been hitched with kids. Fulfilling someone “IRL” — as, as it happens, they do say — seemed unlikely at most useful. And so that it had been that, some four months into singledom, I collected the courage to participate OkCupid and check out a wine club with Pete, a musician-turned-accountant whom we decided to go with for their spectacularly anodyne profile.
