    The one hour flight to Coos Bay was uneventful. I really didn’t start getting nervous until it landed. I knew Hunter would be there to pick me up but the butterflies in my stomach had a will of their own and kept churning my fears of failure. I’ve known Hunter for only a short time after meeting him online, but I couldn't shake the wondering and doubt that this could become another of those dismal failures or disappointments that look good on paper, but fail the reality test of a face to face meeting. During the past two years since my divorce, my close friends have tried setting me up with ‘the perfect guy.’ They meant well, but they never seemed to meet my expectations. I knew what I wanted and Hunter sure felt right. I grabbed my carry-on and made my way out of the plane to the baggage claim area; my nerves continued causing me to second guess my decision. Hunter was an extremely well mannered, confident and educated man. The terminal of people waiting for my flight to arrive was extremely crowded. Making my way downstairs, through the sea of people, our eyes locked onto each other’s and all my apprehensions suddenly disappeared. It was him, no surprises or disappointment, it was Hunter, the man I met just a few weeks ago. We walked to each other and he handed me a single rose. Staring, and searching each other's face, our lips finally met for our first kiss and in his arms I felt like I had somehow finally arrived home.

We spent what seemed like a lifetime chatting and on the phone, so we decided to meet. The trip to the airport was long, tedious and filled with expectations. I arrived early, parked the car and went to the baggage claim. I watched as the plane dropped and smoke appeared from the tires on the runway. Naturally I knew what it was but still it left a sudden little fear that something could go wrong. Finally, she came down the steps and we both froze. Standing there was the woman I knew would be the one. She was dressed in her modest skirt and heels with a smile so blinding it sent chills up my spine. This was a lady whose beauty was obvious, both inside and out. We kissed lightly, gathered her bags and decided to eat before the long drive back home. I felt like we both knew, it was love at first sight. … On the ride home we shared stories about our lives. He told me about his wife, who seemed like a wonderful woman. Probably someone I could have been friends with. He cared for her throughout her illness and that told me a lot about him. I told him about my failure of a marriage and he was very sympathetic. Now, with that all out of the way, the conversation just flowed so naturally, like we knew each other for years. Could this be love ...
