Last night Bill took me out for dinner and a tour of the city. We had pizza at Pizanos, and some beers at the bar. Because I love the sky scrapers, we walked around The Loop. The Trump Tower, Willis Tower, Hard Rock Hotel, Tribune Tower… Then we walked by the river and talked about love and history and being gay.

When I got back it was midnight and she was already asleep. I took a shower and crept into bed next to her. The next morning I heard her leaving the room. I tried going back to sleep. She came back a few minutes later… “Good morning, I bought breakfast for you!” with a cinnamon bun and OJ for me, and some coffee for herself. And then I woke up.
