"He told me he was a widower, and we talked about his job, but he didn't ask me out. We had three more conversations over the phone, but he still didn't ask me out. I finally told him if he wanted to go out on a date, it would have to be soon, as I was leaving on a lengthy trip. He said he was waiting. I asked him what he was waiting for, and his reply was...the funeral. His wife's funeral."
