Chapter 44
On the train taking her to her new home, the window was fogged, so she sat quietly looking forward; a man, with gray distinctive eyes and a strong face asked if the seats across from her were taken. She smiled, replying that they were not.
And she realized how easy it is to allow another into one’s life. It seems as though the planet’s inhabitants are connected essentially through a very thin line of momentary decisions.
To say hello; to accept a date; to stay at home; to take a detour instead of one’s normal route; to have sex; to decide to leave a bar; to say yes; to allow someone to buy you a drink; to say no; to let someone sit across from you.
And so, for no apparent or compelling reason, the man introduced himself as a Frenchman originally from a small city in the south. His eyes sparkled when he spoke and although his English was broken, his charisma was remarkable.
She spent a week with him and every minute was neither eventful nor uneventful. She could have stayed with the Frenchman and his charismatic smile and his beautiful gray eyes forever.
But now and instead she was going home.
I'd like to meet:
