19.5.22


they hadnt seen each other in three years  an months 

they talked on the telephonewrote every week

he got it in his head he was going to see her

he told her he was coming

she sounded excited at the prospect


she met him at her door

they embraced

he went to kiss her but she turned her head    

he felt her reluctanceher weight against his arms
he let her go

she put her arms around herself  I’m sorry . .
. . No   I apologise
                    I was excited to see you   I didnt ask if you wanted me . . . wanted me . to come I was being selfish


I should have said.

he gently chucked her two fingers under her chin
                                                    Yes   You should have
