Open to kids
I work the reference desk at a branch that still has a hold shelf with my name on it. I like quiet men with opinions about novels and no interest in making me smaller. I want a life that includes a kid, eventually — yours, ours, or the neighborhood's.
Kids, carefully
No kids. Open, slowly. I know a first date is not an interview for a stepparent. I am still paying attention.
What Tess is looking for
A lasting partnership
Books
Honesty
Curiosity
Steadiness
Community
Whatever they actually need, not whatever I loved last. That is the job. Off the clock: anything by Alexander Chee.
On time, with a pastry, ready to listen longer than is fashionable.
