Caroline,

Sorry, got swamped with end-of-fiscal-year accounting. Meant to e-mail about Fernando. Charming, lovely Fernando. Oh, Caroline . . .

He took me to Semproniana, a muy romantic place in L’Eixample. It’s converted from a ’60s factory. Has these great iron columns, old furniture, paintings. A very cozy atmosphere.

Handsome Fernando (think Antonio Banderas without the wrinkles) is all habla, habla in español with his arm lightly around my waist, body whispering. I might have swooned a little because I don’t remember walking to the table.

He knew everyone, including the owner, who sat down with us for a few minutes.

We ate, talked, drank a little wine, but not too much. I’m still a Southern Baptist girl, but when in Rome—in my case, Barcelona . . .

We strolled the shops, and C, it felt like we’d known each other for years. His English is perfect, yet sprinkled with the most delicious accent. He tried to coach my Spanish along and we laughed so hard we couldn’t speak at all.

He kissed me tenderly good night and said, “Hasta luego.”

Apparently, his “luego” was ten minutes later. He dropped me off and called me on his way home! Shocked me so much, I didn’t even know it was him for the first minute of the call. I’m like, “Who is this?”

LOL. I’m meeting him again for dinner tonight.

So, J. D., huh? I haven’t been around much in the last four or five years, but isn’t he a ladies’ man? The more the merrier? Big surprise to hear you’re interested in him.

Didn’t he have a crush on you in junior high?

I keep up with home by reading the Gazette online and loved seeing you on the front page in the raft race. I loved the quote you gave Melba Pelot: “The Frogmore is here, bubba.” Cracked me up. I called Carlos “bubba” the next day. Didn’t get it. (Thank goodness.)

And Mitch singing at the Café? Brilliant. By the way, what is he doing in town? I e-mailed the story links to Carlos. Your stock soared with him. I swear, he drooled. He loves that you’re saving an old Café, helping people keep their jobs. If you’re loyal to the Café, you’d be loyal to him.

If you need $25K, go to the bank. It’s a business loan. No biggie.

Please tell Elle and Jess I love them. I owe them both e-mails.

“Here’s looking at you, kid.”

Love, Haz
