I would hate for this story to be keeping anyone up at night, dying of curiosity for an ending, so here the ending is! Less than a week after the flowers were delivered, I received the following note:
"Dear Gabriela,
You are very kind. Thank you for the lovely flowers. It is I who should be sending you flowers in light of my moot boorish behavior. I would enjoy having you and your children over to swim in our pool some afternoon.
Warmly, ..... (with phone #)"
I think the bad blood has evaporated and we're ready to start anew! Do you think it's too soon to ask for my own personal key to the pool?!!
