The situation was Scott and I had been madly obsessed with each other for years, but we had always just been friends.

And I was in a relationship at the time.

Yeah, we had a really nice afternoon.

I think we hadn't seen each other for a few weeks, but when we saw each other, we always laughed and always had fun and always made each other happy.

I think it was something about a drought or a flood.

And I'm just cruising along.

I had left like 15 minutes before that, I think.

right at Central Park.

I'm driving in my car and I look over and there he is.
