Ace
This night, I wandered about once again to look for her, and at first, I thought I was hallucinating when I heard her voice. I ran to the source, which was Pink Lotus, and my mouth dried instantly.
Margaret looked more beautiful than I remembered.
The hollowness of her cheeks was gone, and they contained now a healthy glow. She was wearing a beautiful crimson dress, and heels to match. Swaying her hips side to side, in a moment she noticed me, not even lingering her gaze.
I was relieved to see her and longed to talk to her, but I couldn't. I just couldn't go after her because of my shame.
Maybe she would say how disappointed she was in me for not changing anything. How do I confront her about her jumping from universe to universe?
But none of these thoughts mattered when she approached me.
"Hello, Ace. "
I swallowed and cleared my throat.
"Hello, Margaret. "
She smiled as if she was seeing an old friend who simply went his own way.
"How have you been? "
"I..good. You? "
"I am happy to hear that. " All I could respond.
"Business is going well I presume? "
There it was. The stab. I braced myself.
"Yes. "
"Good ... that's good. "
Was her only reply.
"I am happy that I saw you, Ace. Take care. " She responded, and left.
