By the ocean there is a bar… they called it Hannah’s roadhouse once… I don’t know what they call it anymore. I just knew she’d come and bring that thing with her. That thing that to me, was so precious, so deeply moving that just looking at it would blind me. But I had to have it and I knew that I couldn’t have it if she didn’t show up today…
There she was, red hair with a slight orange fleck in the ocean’s sunrise. She wasn’t old, in fact, she was new, as If reborn, she didn’t see me as she opened the door to the bar. I let her walk, I had no plans. She brought 2 drinks and sat at the bar……
I got up from my seat and stared walk slowly over to the bar… I gain confidence with every step I took, underneath me the floor groaned, and then I stopped… I thought to myself what am I going to say? What am I going to do? If anyone saw me here with her I be… I turned round and headed for the door.
From behind me I heard a loud “stop”… the room went silent. I stopped dead almost as If I couldn’t move. Then from behind a stomping of heals slowly coming toward me. Then the sound stopped as she came round to the front of me… and there she was a woman I’d always wanted to meet, but never wanted to at the same time… she was beautiful, her green eyes stirring right into mine. I had never been so pound in all my life…
Then she spoke “I assume you’re him… although I thought you would have been a bit taller but o’well”… “I bought u a drink how about we sit down and have a talk” the room start to sound alive again as she put her arm over my shoulder and walked me to the bar.
We sat. “So what up with u then cat got you’re tong” I didn’t say anything . “what an’t u happy to see you daughter in-law”.
