“Anyway, Irving and I were friends as kids, and then, when we got older … well, there’s not much to say. We were dating, and I thought it was serious. I even thought we were in love. But he must have been seeing Lois behind my back, because after one of our dates, he disappeared. He didn’t show up for work at the store, and then a week later, he and Lois were engaged. Lois’s family moved out to Chicago, and Irving went with them to work for her father. I never heard from him again.”
