Her Fabulous Hair
We don’t remember the name of the East Village bar where we met, but I remember the first thing I ever said to her: “How much money do you spend on (тратишь на) that hair?” “Nothing,” Melissa said. “I went gray (поседела) early in my 20s.” Now, we’re five years and two children from that blind date (“свидание вслепую”), and strangers think we’re grandparents. We fell in love late in life, with decades of experiences under our belts: city living, careers, travel, parties, parents battling cancer. I just got lucky choosing her favorite topic as my opening salvo (повод, начало рассказа). — Michael LeFort
