My favorite compliment

December 05, 2002
I used to eat dinner with James after Mass when we were freshmen (Catholic mass at Kenyon is on Saturday afternoon). Once I came out into Upper Dempsey and looked around for him. When I found him at one of the far tables, I teased, "I can always find you because you always have the reddest hair in any room you're in."

"I can always find you because you're always the most beautiful person there," he said. It stunned me for a minute, because I was dating someone else at the time, and James didn't usually pay lavish compliments.

The funny thing is, I told him the other day that it was my favorite compliment, and he doesn't remember saying it.
