Hey, there, it's Nick.
Before I start the show, I just wanted to give you a heads up that there is one scene in this episode that involves a pretty intense description of a sexual assault.
So use your judgment before listening, but I hope you do, because it's an important story.
Thanks.
I think the first time I saw Samir was at a party called the end of the world party or something like that.
First semester, freshman year, off campus house.
I was walking up the stairs from the basements.
He was wearing, I think, like, a gray shirt.
I think he was wearing, like, a black tie, too.
He was kind of dressed up.
He might have had, like, suspenders on.
Very tall and pretty, like, broad, too.
It truthfully was her eyes.
Onwin has these fantastic pair of eyes and just a very friendly smile.
I think we got introduced, and then he said, hey, do you want to dance?
And I said, well, something along the lines of, sure, as long as it's not that, like, bumping, grinding type of dancing.
Like, I swing dance.
I'm a dancer.
I do, like, vintage swing dancing.
And so he's like, okay, I know a little bit of swing dance.
