A year and a half ago - almost exactly, I put up a post which a number of folk enjoyed and Chloe Tsang commented, "That makes a beautiful start for a story... I'd love to know the sequel."
I never imagined there would be any sort of sequel and pretty much forgot about it until about 10/12 weeks ago. We had an IT problem in our business and we needed a fresh mind to look at it. My wife suggested a guy who had recently returned from the army to resume, at least part time, his research in the same institution she works for. Made the call, arranged a meeting and the instant he walked through the door I recognized 'Broadband man' from our encounter at 'Silvios.'
At this point I will put in a link to my post from May 2017 so that the sequel makes sense.

He recognized me almost as soon as I mentioned Silvios and we then talked IT issues for a couple of hours. Work completed for the time being, I then asked him the crucial question.
"Well, did she make the call?"
"Oh Yeah, she surely did."
"So all good."
"Couldn't be better mate, couldn't be better." was the slightly dreamy response.
That evening I explained to my wife that her 'colleague' (who in truth was only a nodding acquaintance) was the same guy as my 'Broadband' man) Her only response was, "What did he mean, 'all good' and 'couldn't be better?"
My protest that it was none of my business cut no ice at all. "Next time," she decided, "we should both meet with him - in my capacity as a shareholder," she added. I knew he was going to be pretty mercilessly cross examined so I gave him a heads up. "Not bothered, it's a good story" was his response.
And this is the tale he told. He received the call from the lady, (some 5 weeks after the encounter at Silvios) asking whether he could visit at a very specific time the following early evening. He arrived as asked, she sat him down, served tea and little cakey things as the Japanese do (turned out she was Japanese not Chinese) The first thing she said was "I have asked you here on entirely false pretenses but please let me explain." She then revealed that she had researched him and his career in both a civilian and army reserve context. "I want to ask you to take my daughter on a date."
Our hero was not at all convinced. "I don't think so, I have met your daughter and it just wouldn't be right."
She agreed "Of course, but she is my younger daughter, I am talking about my elder daughter, she is 28, eight years older. Yes," she said, "I am older than I look."
She then went on to explain that the unknown, elder daughter had recently been offered a full time position at the same institution he worked at (part time) She had been invited to a quite high powered reception but would be the only attendee without a partner there, because she had had a monumental row with the academic partner originally invited with her. (He had bailed) She explained that her daughter was right in principle, but totally wrong in exposing the shortcomings of her former work partner.
"Now," she added, cutting off his protests, "Don't make a decision just yet, my daughter will be here in less than two minutes." She then gestured to her mobile phone, "She is using my car, it has a tracker on it."
On cue a car turned into the drive. "She was the image of her mother just younger." claimed our hero. Her mother picked up his response, "Very like me, But she has a dreadful temper, I would understand if you didn't want the challenge."
"What challenge," asked the daughter as she came in. Our hero introduced himself, explained her mother's request.
"I do not need you mother to make social arrangements for me so ..."
"But you do, you have embarrassed yourself professionally and Joel has offered to help you out. He has standing at ** which you clearly do not."
Daughter changed tack "She (her mother ) is a witch you know, she's manipulating you."
"I know," he agreed "but I would still like you to accept."
"Well I suppose it would be convenient" conceded the young lady ungraciously
***
"So how did the date go," asked my wife.
"Dreadful, absolutely dreadful, she was gorgeous, she charmed everyone else but to me was utterly arctic, meticulously polite, but cold, unresponsive - a complete pain.
"So why did you say 'couldn't be better."
"I was driving her home when we both received a text from her mother asking/telling us to come in for coffee. We did that and for a few minutes sat on the couch telling her mother what the evening was about.Then a surprise, her younger sister bounced in. "Hi" she said, "How was your date - you should have taken me, I'm much more fun than her - maybe next time." The next thing I knew was that my private iceberg had slid smoothly across the couch tucked her arm through mine and announced to her younger sister. "There won't be a next time for you, Joel has already asked me out next weekend. "Had I, but striking at the opportunity I said yes we are going yabbying on Saturday.
***
"And it has all grown from there," He confirmed to my wife. "A few highs and lows, one huge low but we got over it."
That was then, recently they did the civil deal in Australia and straight after that went off to Japan for a Shinto marriage/commitment ceremony.
So that was the sequel for Ms Tsang. Sorry I was so long winded.
