* The story so far: Last month, Derrick was eager to be forgiven for hooking up with K.'s two least favorite people behind her back and then lying about it. But K., our favorite fictious blogger, wasn't having it. Desperate for distraction, she responded to an online suitor. The good news? He's cute. The bad news? He lives an hour away, in the suburbs. Okay, so that's not too far, but it's not a hop, skip, and a jump from K.'s urban abode either. Will their e-mail connection hold up when they meet?

Back in the Saddle
After a month of e-mailing almost every day, Suburbs Guy finally asked me out. He explained that he had gotten really busy with work and was afraid he'd make plans then have to cancel at the last minute. He didn't want me to think he was a workaholic or a flake or, worse, both.
He works in the city, so the plan was to meet at 8:00 at a Mexican place near his office for drinks. I showed up at 7:58, and he wasn't there yet. I ordered myself a margarita. At 8:20, he still hadn't arrived, and I realized I'd forgotten his number. At 8:25, my cell rang.
"Um, are we still on?" he asked.
Turns out there are two Mexican places on that street, and I'd gone to the wrong one. Since I had a drink and he didn't, he came to me.
