My summer after graduating college was coming to an end. I had just moved into my apartment in Beacon Hill, and I was ready to truly experience downtown Boston. I went out with my boys, but the cock-blocking was beyond manageable.
I needed girl-friends and I needed them fast!
I put up a post on craigslist looking for some Sex & the City friends, which gave me 30 responses. Some were out of the age range, others had far too different (ie: boring) interests and a few actually wanted to date me.
Several meet-ups ended a friendship before it could begin. I just couldn't find someone who fit in my niche... that is... until I made plans to meet up with a couple of girls at TGI Fridays.
That is where we lit the flame.
Torch and Ruby were pretty new to Boston. They had graduated the same year as me. They were working and looking to get to know the city. I was working and knew the city pretty well. We clicked and off we ran.
Dates, drinks, dancing and devilish behavior ensued... it was nothing but a blast.
4 years later it still is a blast, and Torch is still running... now to another city.
She is another one of the girlz who has made the decision to leave Boston. She and A-train are off to Seattle. A new job, a new start, another chapter in her journey.
I'll miss her, just as I miss all the other girlz who have left... but I'm sure I'll see those flames again.
