Their gazes were locked in a look of minute suffering. Then a tender light came into her eyes and with a smile he placed one hand on the table, palm open and waiting. She placed her hand in his fingers tightened so sharply to imprison hers that she could have cried in pain. But she made no sound, her whole will bent in keeping her eyes clear of tears. Her face was pale with strain, and he looked at this face as though it was the last face in the world he would see before blindness set in.

you are adorable in the most beautiful way.
ReplyDeletelove your blog. i love it. i love it. i love it.
ReplyDeleteWho are you? I read your words and I feel you. I have not met you but know you from another life. I am entranced, siren. What have you done? Someday, my courage will find my voice and I will speak to you. Someday, when I am more me and less what everybody thinks. You entice me, for some unknown reason. Who are you? Maybe someday I will know. Maybe not. - Cat.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday - the universe has its ways - we'll meet.
DeleteI think we have. Before I "knew" you this way. Before reading your words. I remember you, you were out of place that night, the exact reason why I took notice. You're right. Maybe someday, again. - Cat.
ReplyDeleteWell I just hope, when we meet again - properly - you won't act as if you know everything just because you read me here. That's my only request, stranger.
DeleteI would never dare.
