My lover from years ago is back in my life. Nada and I have stayed in touch all these years, but as friends only. Miraculously, our love has sprung back to life the last few days. The last time we met was four years ago, in Zagreb, where my entire family escorted me to a conference. Lauren and Nada fell in love at first sight. Our electronic-mail messages have gradually become ever more open, intimate, tender. Sensing a dash of yearning in one of her message I received two days ago, I confessed that I, too, felt something special for her. Indeed, I enjoyed a wonderful erection as I read her message and wrote my own. “My hug would instantly reveal my feelings toward you,” I wrote yesterday. She responded in kind. “I am trembling as I write,” I read this morning. And now she is back! Nada is back! We declared our love for each other. And our longing, our desire.
