The Waterfront Escape

On a first date along the Old Town Alexandria waterfront, he suddenly wanted to hide his latte from a woman heading our way. I thought she was his wife. I was mortified, convinced I had somehow ended up on a date with a married man. Turns out he wasn’t married. She was his trainer, and she was upset about the sugary latte after he’d put on a few extra pounds. The relief was real. So was the awkwardness. After that, neither of us quite knew how to get the date back on track.
