The minutiae of the party is unimportant.
The important thing is that I not only survived but I thrived.
Met EEs girlfriend. She seemed nice. Attractive woman. We didn’t interact much and most of the time 15 and I were in other areas of the party than EE.
There were absolutely moments of anxiety but, as promised, 15 was there and paying attention. He helped ease those moments. Turned my mind to other, non-stressful things. Silly topics or made me laugh.
Had a wonderful time all in all.
One of my friends did rather corner 15 to find out if, and I quote,”I can’t figure out if you have an Oedipal Complex or you just have great taste in women”. I did do a bit of reassuring in that quarter. If those are the two options the 15 just plain has great taste in women. HA! A couple others did threaten him a bit of bodily injury should he hurt me. He handled it all with aplomb
I’m really happy I don’t work tomorrow. I need the rest!
