On Halloween, I met a man named Sebastian who called me “dangerous.” As my sabbatical in Seattle winds down, I made plans to finally have our drink together and talk. We’re meeting at a place called Black Bottle tomorrow at 9pm. I like that choice. Seems fitting. In the time since we first met, the idea of “dangerous” has been on my mind a lot.
