Handbag and Book: Do you and your partner share a "song"? #readromance #themesongforcouples #JamesBondmovie

I usually share how Handsome proposed to me on April Fool's Day, but today, I'm going to share something else--how we met!

I lived in a large apartment complex and made many friends. On Memorial Day weekend, one neighbor and I decided to go to the new Bond movie, For Your Eyes Only. I loved the films and really wanted to go. My friend decided to hang by the pool and would connect with me later in the afternoon. The pool was right outside my bedroom and I could tell my friend was partying hard. When he left for the day, I went to his place and checked in.

He was very happy. As we discussed not going, the doorbell rang. My friend answered and there was Handsome. He apologized for interrupting, but I dismissed it, saying we thought we would go to the movie, but our friend was not able to go after all. Handsome came in and our friend introduced us. A few minutes passed. Our friend said, "You take her." I rolled my eyes and said Handsome didn't have to go, but he said he wanted to.

And that's how we met.

Was I overwhelmed? Handsome was nice enough and didn't break any mirrors. lol

He picked me up, we drove to the theater, bought our own tickets (not a date, remember?) and he hardly talked at all. The opening credits rolled along with the movie's theme song (For Your Eyes Only) and I was a little embarrassed at the sexual overtures. After the movie was over, he drove me home and dropped me off in the parking lot.

Well, okay. That was awkward, but it wasn't a date; so okay. And thank goodness he was persistent. In a funny way, we do have a theme song. lolol And a great "how we met" story for our kids.
Do you and your partner have a theme song?



My kids say Handsome is Allan Wellborn from the Temporary books. He's not. I saw an actor on TV and knew he was Allan. But his first name comes from a character on a television series and his last name from a construction company. I liked the way the "LL" sounded in both names. And Wellborn describes Allan to a "T."
