oh gosh he sounds perfect! I've actually really been wanting to find some people lucy went to high school with, and although she's a year younger than Bob, she skipped second grade (poor decision on the part of her parents, but what can you do?) so they would have been in the same graduating class. although, luce was kind of a burn-out in hs, so it depends on how he would have felt about that. but they totally could have just not been friends at all in hs and by some strange twist of fate been each other's first oral experiences. you joke, but i am totally about the awkward and tenuous hs connections that somehow turn into friendship in adulthood. so maybe they have some weird story like that from hs that binds them together but then...they reconnected when he subbed at the high school a few years back? they've been a presence in one another's lives ever since? something like that. we can work on the finer points.
