My Last 5 Girlfriends Page #2

He'd write little messages

and draw pictures on them.

They're like works of art.

- Sweet.

- Really?

Well, it did make me want to travel.

He'd write reviews

of the places he'd been.

I always wanted to know

if he was right.

So you're working your way

through the sick bags?

Sort of. I suppose I'm about halfway.

That's so great. I wish

I had a mission like that.

Something to devote myself to.

I'm Wendy, by the way.

For the next 33 minutes,

Wendy gave me her mini biography.

Wendy had been in Paris

attending a trade fair.

She worked as a graphic designer

for a fashion magazine in Soho.

She was born in Blackpool...

...but moved to Wiltshire as a child.

She did fine art at Camberwell...

...and now lives alone

in a flat in Earl's Court.

The whole place

is falling apart, though.

I really shouldn't have bought it.

It needs so much doing to it.

But it was one of those rash decisions.

I have a tendency to do that.

Well, one of those

rash decisions became me.

Soon my life would be full of...

I need to see you now.

- ... and...

- You make me very happy.

Despite incredible odds,

we had found each other.

Didn't that prove that these things

weren't just down to chance?

That God is running some kind

of heavenly dating service?

Have you given up hope of ever

finding that special person?

Well, don't despair.

At Divine Dating, we have hundreds

of expertly trained staff

standing by to meet

your romantic requirements.

I never thought I'd find her.

I'd given up hope.

A friend introduced me to Divine Dating,

and I've never looked back.

Now, I just think of the future

for both of us.

The three of us, remember?

Oh, yes, the three of us!

Divine Dating.

'Cause one day,

the big fella will get round to you.

And that means you!

It has to be something like that

because otherwise people are just

meaninglessly bumping into each other.

Let me look.

I happen to be a doctor.

- It's very kind of you.

- I had to believe that Wendy and I

were meant to be together.

I mean, just look at the evidence.

We were both born at around midnight

in the same month

of an even-numbered year.

Both of us tried to learn the clarinet.

We were both in school productions

of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

We both have two large freckles

on a toe on our left feet,

and a cavity in the same rear molar.

And both of us

do this in bright sunlight.

We even own the same edition

of Anna Karenina.

I was convinced that I was always

destined to sit next to her

and not just any other girl.

I was meant to fall in love

with those eyes,

that way of combing her hair,

of biting her lower lip.

That despite odds of 0.313 per cent,
