The next day (Sunday), after the general session of stake conference, Mary invited Kim, his brother Jody, and Mark Hardy over for supper that night. She was cooking a whole chicken. Kim was trying to co-ordinate the transportation with Mark Hardy all night because only Mark had an available car. Around 8 o\u2019clock or so, Mark said he would not be able to make it. For the 2nd time that night, Kim had to phone Mary, but this time to tell her they wouldn’t be coming because Mark wasn\u2019t able to go. \u201cThere goes the chicken,\u201d Kim thought. He felt bad for all that wasted food, and still feels bad today.<\/p>\n

Well, Kim decided to phone a third time a few minutes later, and asked her, \u201cAre you doing anything this Saturday?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWant to get together and do something?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure.\u201d<\/p>\n

They agreed on a time. Saturday (Feb 4th) came, and Kim took Mary to the Old Spaghetti factory in historic Gastown in downtown Vancouver. After waiting 45 minutes while watching reruns of the Little Rascals, they were finally seated. Expense was not spared, and they enjoyed a lovely meal.<\/p>\n

On the bus ride home, Kim kept prying Mary with questions regarding topics like, \u201cHow many children do you want?\u201d \u201cIf you were to meet the perfect man right now, when do you think would be the earliest you would get married?\u201d Questions, to determine if she was right for him. Of course, he never came right out and said he was interested in her.<\/p>\n

They went inside Mary\u2019s place (it was shared with three roommates) and talked. About an hour or two was spent trying to get Mary to admit she liked Kim. It was a well-known fact that she liked someone in the ward, but she would not say who it was. The only thing she said was that Kim could see who it was if that person sat with her in church the next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
