Gang,

Here's the update ya'all have been waiting. In short, very anti-climatic.

Texted Ms. Wonka on meeting place which was in the hotel lobby. I ran inside quickly to use the restroom prior to seeing Ms. Wonka and ran right into her as she came out of the elevator on the way to the restroom. Just gave her a quick hug.

After I came out of the restroom, I went to the lobby area and saw Ms. Wonka sitting in a chair waiting for me. Then we proceeded to head outside. I could tell that Ms. Wonka was visibly nervous. To calm her down, I started chatted and spoke to her about the football stadium that was directly across from her hotel.

Then we walked to a restaurant next door to the hotel. Then we sat down and ordered our drinks. We chatted about general stuff and she talked about her work for the first time. We talked a bit about our family members and some about our interests. At one point, Ms. Wonka slipped OW's name in the convo. Whatever.

After we finished up, we walked back to the hotel and then we hugged outside of the hotel's front doors. Then I took off.

My thoughts immediately afterward was that I had loved this woman deeply at one point and I feel absolutely nothing for her now. Ahhh...what a nice awakening moment. I am officially at the indifference stage. The next day, Ms. Wonka texted saying how nice it was to see me although it was very brief. Since then, I have not once thought about her.

I guess this encounter was our 'closure'...so to speak. On many levels, it was very liberating to me.

Onward to bigger and better things! I have this gut feeling that The One is just around the corner waiting for our meeting. It is now up to the Universe to align the stars to make it happen. grin
