One year ago - a fairy tale

So exactly one year ago a man was home alone late on Sunday evening. He had had a nice day, having lunch with a friend and dinner with another friend, but something was missing: sex! This is a modern fairy tale, so he went on-line to his favourite site and browsed the personal ads. He chatted with another man, who said: "why don't you come to my place?" The man answered "but it is so late already and tomorrow I have to work", but anyway he decided to take a taxi all the way to Ang Mo Kio. When they met each other in person, they were both immediately stunned by the extremely good looks of the other man. They both felt so lucky to have met such a handsome guy, they immediately decided to meet again the next day. And again the next week, and the next week four times, and soon they couldn't see enough of each other. When they went shopping in Orchard Road, passers-by would turn and look at them, and even the most conservative heartlander would stare, turn to his wife and comment "wow, look at that handsome gay couple, it is time that our government would be more accepting". Pictures were shown to the Minister Mentor, the Senior Minister and other friends and family, and laws were in the process of being changed. That is, until half of the handsome couple was called back by his company to far, far away land. Word soon got around that the "couple of models" could no longer be seen every weekend, and the city soon returned to its old-fashioned and anti-homosexual self. The handsome couple was sad to be split, and couldn't forget the beauty that they had seen. And now the old ladies tell their grand-children that "as soon as the couple will be together in our city, the flowers will bloom with more colour, and with stronger fragrance as ever before".
