I just got a call from someone who wanted someone other than me. When I told her, she said 'I am so sorry'. Which flipped me right back to thinking about that woman I met so abruptly last week (I suppose I should have a tagname in my mind for her, like 'the accident lady'), although, fortunately, no longer in the tortuous method that I had been thinking, last week.
Last night, I was teasing my wife, and I told her that she obviously didn't appreciate me, so I was going to go find that accident woman, and see what developed. After all, I said, she's young, sexy, wears perfume, and gives great hugs. "You'll never find her", my wife replied. I disagreed. "She said she's only here for a couple of months, so she's either staying in a hotel or renting a furnished apartment. There aren't that many hotels in Camp Hill, and I could just go see if her car is there." My wife laughed. "What, you're going to go hang out in hotel parking lots, looking for a white car with New York plates and a cracked right headlight fairing?" "Got to do something with my days," I said. "Besides, she had really nice perfume. You know, like you used to wear." And then we moved onto other things.
Except that this morning, she wore perfume. Thank you, accident lady!
B'awwww. Made me smile. You've got a good wife and I am sure you know that.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely no doubt in my mind. Better than I deserved, by far.
ReplyDeletePerfume...oh my.
ReplyDeleteGot to bake that gal some cookies!
Which one?
ReplyDeleteOh, good. Because, if the other, I'm not sure I could find her....or withstand the effects if I did.
