An Update: The Hottest Woman in the World has been absent from the train platform for a few weeks now. I assumed that she went on maternity leave and/or had her baby. She only occasionally returned to my thoughts, when I would walk the platform in the morning to wait for the train.
Until yesterday. I went to Oak Brook to return some bullshit headphones I bought at the Apple Store. And when I walked up the stairs from the parking garage, who do I see? Her, and Johnny Hemmesch. And a stroller. So I have a whole new layer of mystery to solve.
Johnny is a year younger than me, and mystery woman looks a year or two older. It is possible that she is Johnny's wife, I suppose, but I would be a little surprised.
Johnny has an older sister, Annie. The problem is that the Annie that I used to know ten years ago doesn't look like the woman in question. This is also possible, I suppose, but I would again be a little surprised.
But this is in line with what I privately thought I saw before: that the mystery woman would sit with Mr. Hemmesh on occasion on the train. So he sat with his daughter, or his son's wife. Hmmmmmm.
