it was 1:57 am. she was not anywhere in sight.
I looked down her path, and around the trees.
suddenly, my want to listen to the stars secrets completely diminished.
i pushed myself off of the hood of my car, and placed the cookie I was eating, (the one she gave me just the night before) where I sat. I looked at it quickly, then turned on the spot and ran down her path.
.......
she was late.
she ran as fast as she could, tripping multiple times on the dirt path, which was now muddy from the rain that has been falling since 2:30.
she was breathless and panting when she reached the car. he wasn't there.
all that was there was a sodden cookie, sitting lonely where he should be sitting.
she had no urge to go back. she simply went to the side of the car and let herself into the car,sinking happily into the soft leather seats. she didn't sleep right away.
she wriggled around in the seat until she could make herslelf believe that the comfortable seat was the muscular and soft arms of the kind boy she gave cookies to.
