She said, "Must be the maid". Exactly when I said, "Must be the help."
Like, we both said the first three words at EXACTLY the same time, and she said maid at exactly the same time that I said help.
We both laughed. Then we just looked at each other. We have had plenty of moments like that, I'm sure. But that one stands out in my mind. I remember driving home from the bar that night and thinking, "What am I doing? At this point, this is just stupid."
It took a little bit of time after that, but eventually I just stopped being stupid and told her that I was pretty sure that I'd made a mistake.
