Chapter 1
Uwe
I checked Facebook again, as I often do.
I saw a car that immediately reminded me of my childhood. A warm feeling came over me and my grandpa and grandma were immediately present. The time spent with my grandparents was a wonderful time. I mention that because the time spent with my parents was the complete opposite. But that's just a side note.
The car was orange and had a white roof. An Audi 1000 S.
The man next to me was also interesting. I wrote to him. He answered me quickly. We wrote for a long time and then we even spoke on the phone. That was on Wednesday evening.
We agreed to meet on Friday. It all happened very quickly, but it felt right.
Friday was the day. I told my girlfriend about this man with this great car. She was surprised that I had agreed to meet him so quickly. Me too...
At that time, we went to the music garden bar on the Elbe almost every Friday. I loved the atmosphere there. Even today.
We were friends and acquaintances and were in a great mood. Then the moment came. I saw the car. Other guests saw it too. This car attracted attention. I was happy, but it was a little uncomfortable.
A good-looking man got out. It really was him, just like the picture on Facebook.
He came towards us with a large, colorful bouquet of flowers. His hair was blowing. He reminded me of an 80s pop star. It took a bit of getting used to.

I was wondering if I liked him or if I was just interested in the car.
He was soon in the middle of our group, laughing and we were all chatting animatedly. At some point he asked me if we could go for a walk. I was kicked under the table again."Okay," I said and we left. We sat down on a nearby bench and chatted. We didn't notice how time passed. At some point it got light and the sun came up. I looked around and was surprised that no one was there anymore. Not even my friends. We were so busy with ourselves that we didn't notice that it was already 5 a.m.
Uwe, that was his name, said that he had to leave urgently because he had to open his shop. Uwe had a bicycle shop in Mölln. Which was an understatement, as I later found out and saw.
Since we were going almost the same way, we set off together, each in his own car. I looked closely at the car and was still totally amazed. Almost like a toy car.
When we got home, Uwe stopped and said a coffee would be great. No sooner said than done. We drank coffee. But Uwe really had to go now. We said goodbye. A truly magical moment. Can that be true? Can you really fall in love that quickly? Love at first sight? I never believed it.
I had so much adrenaline in me. I couldn't sleep. I then called my neighbor, who was also a dear friend and advisor. We've been through a lot together.
