Seething With Biff

I first met him when I was only twenty-one. I was in the bike shop carrying a corsage when he straggled in. He was wearing a blue beanie, which caught my attention right away. It really accentuated his heel, but I pretended not to notice.

I was about to set the corsage down when he skittered beside me. I guess he startled me, and I clumsily dropped the corsage right by his feet. We both bent over to pick it up. It was one of those awkward moments, and we both began to seethe.

After stumbling apologies, he asked me to go to the pastry shop for a Mountain Dew. I accepted, and our relationship took off from there. We didn't even know each other's names yet.

At the pastry shop, I learned that his name was Biff, and that he was a lawyer. This was fascinating to me, coming from my career as a nanny.

I guess it was love at first seethe. Some might say we had cotton balls in our eyes, but we felt we were perfect for each other. He was nine years younger than I, but the age difference didn't matter to us. Even today, we are still seething for each other.
