Her eyes were confused cold daggers. I called you but you didn’t answer. You jizz “It’s okay.”
“I’m glad I didn’t interrupt anything!”
We sipped our drinks and sat through a thorny silence. I didn’t want to break anything. “It just happened?”
“Yes,” I said. The dog leaped toward me but she yanked back on the leash. Should we get married? You’re a former student…”
“That was years ago! “It’s serendipity!” she said. We ran side by side for the first few miles, then I said I needed to pick up my pace. “That was cruel!” We were both laughing. If you have any other chores that need attention, just let me know.”
We stared at each other for a bit. Her name is Geri. “And, it’s just Connie, now. How about you, Will?”
“Wow, scary,” I said.
