My boyfriend at the time and I had recently moved in together, and we were deep in the early stage of love that feels both safe and like you’re falling forever, but you don’t want it to stop. Everything we did, from reading the paper to going to parties, seemed unique and new, more important simply because we did it together.
We often ate out on Saturday nights, so when a friend recommended a restaurant in a neighborhood I’d vaguely heard of – Ravenswood – and said it was the best Italian food he’d ever had, we went to check it out. It was a tiny place called Cara Mio.
