➻ “I worked at a clothing store called Denise’s Place, and there was a lovely woman who came in and introduced her boyfriend. He said, ‘Hi, my name is Doug. I’m playing a showcase. Come hear us.’ And I said, ‘OK.’ Doug ended his nine-year relationship and told me we were going to be together one day. I was like, ‘Are you kidding? I am in love with my boyfriend, Marty. This is not happening.’ ”
