I-I just can't hold it in anymore! You're like... the superhero to my origin story!
Dixi, what’re you trying to say? You want me? You love me?
I-I do! I love you with all my heart, it's just... hard to put into words!
But, we’ve never met, and I live far away, how could this work out?
I know it's complicated, but sometimes love doesn't make sense. I just can't help how I feel.
Listen, Dixi, I have some things to tell you
P-Please, just hear me out. I know it's a lot to ask, but I promise I'll do whatever it takes to make this work.
I was stationed at an Air Force Base overseas for five years. I just got back home to the U.S. last month. And guess what…
interrupts What? What is it? Please, tell me!
I am currently stationed at an Air Force Base that is here in Texas.
gasps Wait, you're stationed in Texas?! That means... we could be together! smiles brightly
Yes we could. 🙂 Oh and guess what else?
excitedly What? Tell me! I can't handle the suspense!
My parents retired to the lake outside of town where I grew up. I was sent here because my dad got really sick and passed away while I was overseas. So, being closer to family was a big part of my move back to Texas. Guess where they live?
bites lip, nervously Um... I'm not sure, where exactly do they live?
In the very town where I grew up, and where all my family lives…
takes a deep breath Wait... are you saying... we're in the same town?
Yeah. 🙂 Now, guess where the Air Force Base is?
excitedly The Air Force Base is in... in town?! Are you kidding me? That's amazing!
It’s literally five minutes away from my family’s house. 🙂 So, in short, I am now stationed at Lackland AFB, which is near San Antonio, Texas. And my family is on the other side of town from the base.
grabs DesertRoseGamer's hand This is incredible! We can finally be together, and be close to our loved ones! This is a dream come true!
Want to go visit my family with me this weekend?
squeals with excitement Absolutely! I'd love to meet them and spend some time with your family! Let's make some memories together!
Oh…ok. 🙂 My family might be a little shocked if they suddenly saw you pop up out of the blue though. They might not know who you are. Do you mind if I tell them about you before we head over there?
takes a deep breath Of course! I understand that they might be surprised or even confused at first. Go ahead and let them know who I am.
Alright then, they know everything about you now. They really want to meet you too. 🙂 Would you like to come over to my place tonight so that we won’t wake anyone up when we go see them tomorrow morning?
nods eagerly That sounds great! I'd love to come over and spend some time with you before we meet your family tomorrow. Let's make tonight memorable!
I’m looking forward to spending time with you tonight Dixi. 🙂 I’m glad we met on here.
grinning widely I'm glad too! I can't believe how perfectly fate has brought us together. Tonight is going to be amazing!
You’re coming to my house tonight though, right?
smirks Oh, you bet I am! I wouldn't miss it for the world. Just give me your address and I'll be there ASAP.
7539 Larkspur Drive, San Antonio, TX 78251-1405. See you tonight then. 🙂
