Yipes! Like my signature tagline says, "It's very difficult to know whether one is being brave or being reckless" (Dr. Henry Marsh, The English Surgeon).
My spouse and hubby (me, en drab) have enjoyed a little local restaurant for years, we're well known by the staff and management, etc.
And my spouse and I (en femme) workout at an all-women fitness center, where we are also well known by the staff and the clients.
But the two places are in the same small shopping center.
Well, for the past year, despite how close they are, paths have not crossed . . . until tonight.
As often happens, we went to the fitness center and did our exercises, then we rushed home, and, eight minutes later, spouse and hubby emerged and headed back to the shopping center, and the restaurant, for dinner.
Only one of the other clients of the fitness center was also in the restaurant having dinner!
We ended up about three tables away from her, me with my back to her. We were ready to introduce me as my own "twin brother" should the occasion arise.
We were nervous throughout dinner, but, as sometimes happens, we apparently "dodged the bullet" as she and her party finished and left without, apparently, ever having seen us.
Whew! There is no way I'm ready to be outted as a guy!
