when the Dume Room was still a place and the Mustang was still a thing, Orbi left the bar one day to find sustenance at the gas station around the corner. Having just gotten her license, Erika was pumping gas in her 2001 V6 white Mustang. With blond hair down his back, his unbuttoned shirt in the wind, holding his beloved Maxie (2.7 pounds of pure yorkie fury), he sauntered over and asked her to be his Valentine.
She remembers saying no - and insisting he'd never remember anyway.
He remembers her saying she already had a valentine - and leaving his phone number in the dirt on her back windshield, just in case she changed her mind.
Apparently, he remembered.
He bought her a bus ticket to Shelter Island where they spent the afternoon fly fishing on a 17 foot whaler.
