Abbie

While Abbie is actually based in London, our paths met in Berlin. I invited her to lunch at my usual hang out spot, Roca, and when I arrived I saw the silhouette of a beautiful young woman wearing a figure-hugging dress, long hair flowing. We greeted one another very warmly, and sat down for a wonderful meeting.

The waiter soon approached us to take our drinks order. “Would you like some wine?” He asked. I replied, “Well, I don’t drink during the day, but I’ll let the young lady decide.” Abbie didn’t waste any time and ordered two glasses of Sauvignon Blancs. “To celebrate”, she said. How could I say no? 

Then, when it came to ordering our lunch, Abbie opted for the salmon which looked delicious. In fact, I’d secretly wished I’d ordered that instead of the chicken. 

As we chatted, I came to learn that Abbie was born and raised in South Africa, but found her happy place in London. She’s an all-natural, very sporty, slim young lady that’s highly educated with quite an interesting degree. Abbie has a wicked sense of humour, sometimes dry and sarcastic, sometimes naughty, and her mind is sharp like a knife… I was super intrigued. 

As time flew by, the waiter approached us yet again, “Would you like another glass of wine?” He asked. “Oh no, we couldn’t!” I said. “This a serious business meeting after all.“ Abbie stepped in and said, “We’ll have two more, please.” There Abbie sat sweetly with an even more mischievous grin. AhAh 🤠

Going back to our conversation, Abbie told me about her hobbies such as the arts, going to the theatre, horse riding, and working out on an almost-daily basis. She also loves to read and funny enough, at the time of our meeting, we were both reading the same book (Sapiens). Yet another sign to invite her on-board? I think so!
