I am in British Columbia, friendly neighbor of the north.

I would love for you two to come up with one for me.

Dreamed of this happening.

Can't believe I'm about to say this story.

Literally, I just told my husband this story when I submitted it.

So this is the second time I'm now saying this out loud.

No, this was buried deep in the archives.

Okay.

Okay, let's hear it.

Okay, I'll get right into it.

So set the scene here.

This story took place about 15 years ago.

I was a senior in high school at the time.

My family were very adventurous travelers, and we were going on kind of one of our last big family trips before I went off to university the next year.

And we were going to India for a whole month.

Yeah.

My parents and younger brother had left a week before me.

I had to stay behind to finish exams, which I wasn't mad about because being typical 17 year old home by myself for a week, I decided this is the time I'm going to throw a massive house party.

This is the night I was going to lose my virginity to this boy that I had been seeing.

Oh, wow.
