Similarly, No. 18 is an Iowa City karaoke establishment offering an intimate setting. Located downtown, this karaoke and bubble tea restaurant is broken into individual rooms where you can belt out all your guilty-pleasure pop songs in luxurious privacy. No. 18 doesn’t serve alcohol, and the karaoke rooms cost money to rent, but their modern decor and sleek technology make this location feel a lot farther from home than it really is.

I’m glad to hear that the quote has meaning for you. I presume that he as changed the behaviors that caused the first time to end, right? The relationship has to work for both people, or it isn’t a relationship. I wish all the best for the two of you, but for it to work, both of you will have to want it, and both of you will have to work at it. Keep the lines of communication open, and don’t be afraid to talk about anything that bugs you (just be careful *where* you are when you’re talking).
