my uncle Monty said in faux surprise when I answered his FaceTime call. I had just gotten out of the shower after taking Sport for his morning walk. Sebby was waiting for me on the same park bench, my coffee in hand, just as I had expected. We sat and talked for longer than usual, no longer playing our question game. Instead, we just said whatever came to mind…or nothing at all. I couldn’t remember ever being so connected and in tune with someone, even my family, which was confusing for me. One second, I was telling myself our friendship was doomed for failure, that it was impossible for a man and woman to simply remain friends. Then I thought about what it would be like if he didn’t have a girlfriend and both of us acted on our obvious impulses. What if it didn’t work out? I’d lose him as a friend, and I hated that thought. I kept reminding myself of that whenever I caught the glimmer in his eye that he should only reserve for his girlfriend. I would have been fooling myself if I didn’t admit I thought there was something between us from the very beginning, even when I gave him a bloody nose.
What do You think about The Other Side Of Someday?
