Hard rockin’
Sunday, November 25th, 2007On Friday night, I found myself at the hat party that Sara was invited to.
Maybe I think too hard, but I didn’t want to loiter around her and make her feel like I was one of the many guys that trip over themselves before her, demanding all of her time. Yet, we sat on a sofa in a living room amidst dozens of mingling bodies, (drunken and stumbling, some looking with their acquaintances for a room for a quick shag, and others snapping pictures at random), and we spoke as if our tea conversation the night before had never ended.
“Look,” I said, “if you want to mingle, please go ahead, I don’t want to bore you to death.”
“You don’t bore me,” she said. And of course, she did invite me after she arrived home from last night’s dance. “You’re fun to talk to.”
“Good,” I grinned, “I was fishing for that exact comment.”
