The Dating Chronicles

By Chance…

Elana met Alex while the two were visiting a mutual friend in the hospital.  Elana was impressed the moment she laid eyes on him.  They had been engaged in talk and laughter for over thirty minutes before she realized that Alex was blind.  Although he was very attractive, her heart fell when he stood up and reached for a cane next to his chair.

Her shock and disappointment were evident in her voice when she made the sudden announcement that she had to go to an appointment.  However, when she reached for the door, she stopped when a very striking woman walked through the door and embraced Alex with a peck on the lips.  She was there to pick Alex up, and Elana’s shock turned to curiosity, as the couple waved goodbye and sailed laughingly through the door.

When they left, Elana grilled her sick friend about Alex, and found out he was injured in an automobile accident and had been blind for two years.  He was also single.  That night, she went to bed thinking about him and hoping she’d get a chance to see him again.

Two months later, she saw Alex attempting to cross a busy street and her heart lurched at the sight of him.  She walked up beside him and put her arm in his without saying a word, and guided him across the street.  When they reached the other side, he smiled broadly and thanked her.  When he asked if her name was Elana, she almost fainted.  He explained that he remembered her perfume from the day they met at the hospital, and how he had been thinking about her ever since because of her infectious laugh.

They ended up having lunch the next day and meeting for dinner later that week.   Seven weeks later, after a total of five dates, they eloped to Hawaii.
