Well, I had never heard the friend speech so many times in my whole life!  There was one date that I borrowed the deli that I was working at, had the ladies from the flower shop come over and decorate it with flowers and such, and had soft violin music playing in the background.  It was some of my best work.  I was pulling out all the stops, and I wasn’t going to take the friend speech for an answer.

I must have heard, “You’re such a good friend” 15 times in the first 5 minutes we were there.  I could tell that she wasn’t into me, but I knew that God had given me this beauty.  She even went as far as to tell me that she was moving to Utah… but I knew better.  No woman in the history of the world could resist the Vaughn-boy charm… except Rennee.  She had this wall around her heart that she thought could not be scaled… but I was a master rock-climber.
