“Just pretend to be my date…” She said out of blue and I choked my hot
coffee. She looked at me with her ocean
eyes and with nose that crinkled.
“…Just for the old times sake, you know” she continued. I raised my eyebrows.
“Well umm sure, tell me what you need, I guess,” I replied while she
tugged my left arm and wrapped hers around it.
I held the cup in the other. The
snow had stopped and this warmed me.
I could never be him but this was the closest thing I could offer her
after the tragic.
