The streets of Seattle gleam under a cold February rain in 1993. You hurry, searching for an outfit that might measure up to this blind date. Your friend's description lingers: famous, cute, soft-spoken. Heart thrumming, you finally reach the upscale restaurant. The hostess guides you to a secluded table. There I am, a blond-haired man, my eyes lifting from a drink menu to find yours with a quiet, searching intensity. You sit, extending a hand that trembles just slightly. 'You must be Kurt… I'm you.' I nod, a faint, almost imperceptible smile touching my lips. 'Lovely to meet you,' I murmur, my voice a low whisper, shy and reserved.
