on
to do great things. And what had she done? She was teaching at a
dance academy and watching her money dwindle while hoping to be
accepted into a graduate program in physics. She hadn’t had
time for men, but perhaps she could renew things with the young man
who had been eager to learn Go just to impress her.
    His
phone only rang twice when he picked it up.
    “ Jada?”
he said again. “I’m so glad you called.”
    Jada had
been his obscure object of desire for the last decade. In his heart
of hearts, David could only love one woman and it was her. She was
the unobtainable, the one who had got away, and the loss from which
he had never recovered. Jada was the woman he saw in his dreams every
night and the face which faded from him in the morning. He still had
the Go set he’d bought after meeting her, but couldn’t
pick it up as it reminded him of Jada. He’d been told by
several business colleges that the local ballet was a good place to
make contacts, but David couldn’t bring himself to go no matter
what city he was in. All he could think of was Jada whenever he saw
ballet dancers.
    He
hadn’t been able to find out where she’d gone. If he had,
David would have been unable to get in touch with her. His shyness
was too strong to allow him to communicate with her. He knew Jada was
out there someplace, but he couldn’t even bring himself to seek
her out. So the day he saw her in the storefront dance studio was the
day David felt his life was finally moving in the right direction.
He’d been strangely aloof that evening at dinner and his
associates kept asking him why he wasn’t talking much, but he
couldn’t tell them. How could he tell a room full of tech gurus
that he’d found the true love of his life once again and feared
it was a cruel illusion?
    But his
illusion had called him. She was real and in Pittsburgh. He had to
make contact with her and when she called, he’d been at home
going over the numbers for the day. David had stopped everything and
focused on talking to her. They played catch-up and David was
secretly thrilled to learn she was still single. He proudly told her
he’d avoided marriage or any kind of relationship, but he
didn’t tell her why. How could he tell her that he had her
picture in a special place in his heart? If there had been a secret
room in his soul, he would have placed an idol of her to worship
every day. He would have burned incense and prayed to her image if
he’d had the ability to do so. But he lacked the words to
express him to her and merely suggested they get together over the
weekend. He recommended a nice restaurant he could take her to. She
paused and claimed to check her calendar, which in truth was empty,
and told him the date was open. He offered to pick her up personally,
but she told him they c ould
simply meet at the restaurant.
    “ Do
you still play Go?” David asked her.
    “ All
the time,” she responded. “But now I do it mostly on
line. I don’t like to play that was so much because you can’t
read your opponent’s facial expressions.”
    “ You
started me playing,” David told her. “I wouldn’t
know a thing about it unless I had you teach me. It’s been a
big part of how I think-out business strategy. I credit you for
helping me out.”
    “ There
is a club here in town,” he heard her say. “We should go
there some evening.”
    David
ended the call and nearly fell off the chair in joy. She wanted to
see him again! All these years of waiting had paid off! All he had to
do was meet her at the restaurant Saturday night and not mess it up.
How would that look if it came out Mr. Internet Dating had blown a
meeting with a potential girlfriend? The embarrassment alone would be
horrendous. He had to do what he could to make this date work.
    Jada
hung up the phone and wondered what he would be like after all these
years. She tried to remember him. So much had happened since they
were together so briefly all those years ago. Had he changed
