I was attending an outdoor music concert with a young woman I'd recently begun dating.

Standing at the back of the crowd, we wrapped our arms around each other, swaying to the music.

After a particularly romantic song, my date turned to face me. With a loving smile, she said, "I wish we were closer."

Totally thrilled, I looked into her eyes and whispered, "Do you mean our houses or our friendship?"

Puzzled, she replied, "To the stage."
