Gallup, NM July 1994

She on a OB nursing travel contract
Me on an ER nursing travel contract

We stood outside of the ER doors for a smoke break. She had a perm., rose colored glasses, dangle earrings. She couldn't pull it off, and was an obvious
butch under the costume. I was muscular with dark brown hair and an obvious
stone butch dominant carriage.
We had strong crushes on each other that were not stated.
Went out a couple of times platonically (yeah, right).
Invited Her back to my apartment to show off my computer, but ended up
showing off my "toy bag."

Watched TV for about 12 hours while She was getting up the courage to make
a pass. She had claimed to be straight so I wasn't going first.

After Her drinking 9 beers over the 12 hours, She made a move and "it was
all over."

Needless to say, She got rid of the perm, earrings and changed Her hair to reveal the "butch under femme's clothing."

There was a bit of relationship struggle, but She ended up as my Dominant and both madly in love.

Here we are 23 years after meeting, still together as fresh as Day 1. Laughing and chatting nearly all day every day.
