Brian was frustrated with the things going on in his life. His mother was ill, and died within days. His love life was lacking for want of a better word.

Online one night, kvetching to his best friend Garrett about , well everything, so his best friend introduced Brian to his best female friend, who lived far away, but who had insight into and was able to help ease problems with her wit and charm and personality.

He was upset at her at first and blocked her for a month.
Bad idea.
Turns out he wound up talking to her online and by cell phone more than he ever talked to anyone he’d ever known.

The thought alike, mostly, but they sparred on a lot of topics as well. The witty banter and laughter on the phone was enriching Brian’s life. He even enjoyed their ‘bebates’.
She being so passionate and lively and vibrant.
They talked for hours and kept each other sane and she kept him alive during very low points.

He counted the days till he met her in person
