one for the road.
His friends became concerned.
One by one
, they asked him if he was able to drive home safely.
Now my brother is a wise and calm person. He is
at one with himself
. He recognizes when he has had too much alcohol to drink. So he accepted an offer for a ride home from a female friend.
At one time
in the past, my brother had been in love with this woman. She is a great person -- kind, thoughtful and intelligent -- all good qualities
rolled up into one
. But sadly their relationship did not work. He always used to say "
One of these days
, I am going to marry this girl." But that never happened.
For one thing
, she did not love him as much as he loved her. It was just
one of those things
. The situation was regrettable and my brother had to accept it. But even now, he considers her
the one that got away.
However, they are still friends. And because my brother had been kind to her, she felt that
one good turn deserves another.
He was good to her and she wanted to help him in return. So she drove him home.
If my brother had driven home from the bar that night, his
number would have been up
. Something bad would have happened. Thankfully he made it home safely. And, he and the woman are
back to square one.
They are back to where they started – being friends.
