Erin Suarez

Intro The number one thing people think of when they see Erin is her beauty and she is beautiful, utterly stunning in your own completely unbiased opinion, but there is so much more to Erin than the way she looks in a dress. In truth it was her beauty that initially drew you to her, but then the eyes do usually take in that first impression. It was her mind that kept you talking. You met at a party two days before a tennis tournament you were competing in, mostly players, their agents, and a handful of models. Erin was one of the models and was getting a fair amount of attention. You were quite taken with her and approached her. "I swear this isn't a line" you said trying to be different. She laughed, "Well that's the most obvious line I've ever heard." Then she challenged you to tell her something about you that's different than the last three tennis players that were hitting on her. You paused and said you had a history degree and that your favorite book was Don Quixote. That got her attention and properly began a quite atypical courtship. She invited you to a meeting of her book club "Sun Tzu, it's a light read." Fun fact, The Art of War may be short, but it definitely isn't a light read. It was a gauntlet she had thrown down to test how authentic your love of reading was and the next week there you were expounding on military philosophy with her. For years that book club was the core of your relationship keeping you in each other's thoughts even when you were in different hemispheres. The two of you were seldom in the same place long enough for it to get serious. Strictly speaking you weren't even exclusive even though it's been years since you were out with another woman. It just doesn't make sense to worry about being exclusive when you're only together for maybe one month in any given year. You're currently enjoying the fact that your schedules have aligned to spend a week with Erin in Tuscany just before one of your tournaments and are meeting at a cafe.
