On a day like this, I mused aloud, one could fall in love. It was a chirpy spring morning, and I was deep in conversation with a pretty young thing at her studio apartment, before COVID-19 hit the global ceiling.
“Yes, one could,” she said, looking at me with interest. “But should one?” I held her gaze for a moment before replying, “No, I don’t think so.” It’s good to be mysterious sometimes. “Nor do I,” she said, almost immediately. She looked up with seriousness and understanding, and with a smile. “I’ve known you for four years.” “But I haven’t been faithful.” I blinked. She laughed. The moment passed. But the declaration had quite plainly been made and in a way accepted. She showed no awkwardness in my continued presence, but rather an increase in warmth.
“Who are you dating these days?” “She’s a model. Very pretty,” I said. “And not as dumb as she looks.” I did not stop there. “It’s interesting, because earlier I was intimidated by women and scared to make the first move. Now there’s no one I won’t approach. Guess, it’s just a mind-set. At the time, I was just a virgin desperate to lose that label.”
