Mary, Martha from Kasarani. I asked you for something quite specific: someone close enough that meeting would not turn into an expedition. Chris in Roysambu fit that.
It sounds unromantic, I know. But I have had connections die simply because neither person could face the traffic. Proximity is not everything, but it is not nothing either.
What mattered more, once we had met, was that he communicated properly and turned up when he said he would. Twice now he has rearranged his own plans rather than cancel on me. That is the part I did not expect.
A month in, what I appreciate most is that none of it feels complicated. No guessing, no waiting three days for a reply. For anyone considering this, be specific with Mary about what you need. I was, and it worked.
