She knew it was time for her to
go but there was something keeping her there.
His T-shirt smelled like him and his eyeglasses
rested by the bed. This was a familiar place.
His bed, his room and the large windows with
a view of an unlit Ferris wheel in the early
morning. It all became a dream that she was now
living and no longer sleeping through. They had
only met hours before, over the course of many
cheap tequila shots and meaningless soft-rock
music. That bar smelled like a cat urinated on
her grandmother's smokey couch in New England.
As they walked back to his place, he said she
was the one he had been waiting for. She asked
him what about their meeting she should tell
their future grandchildren, as to imply that
they were about to embark on, not only a life-altering
event, but essentially seal the rest of their
lives together, forever. He didn't try to kiss
her until they reached his couch. There, she
saw a small link into his hidden, obscure life.
They didn't see each other naked and bare that
night or morning. They slept and spoke to each
other for hours, between sleepy intervals of
exhaustion or lustful fits of passion. Their
attraction to each other was evident and they
both knew and agreed that they really needed
someone to hold and be held by. He called it
off the next day.
