A Nerd for All Seasons

Is it weird cosmic timing that, about the time I started complaining about all of the dateable females in my life being spoken for, my “back up wife” randomly decides to get in touch? For reference, back in high school, we made one of those “If neither of us are married at 35, we’ll get married” pacts and then were friends through most of college and would occasionally joke about it. She’s 11 years early.
