The wooden ball lay in my palm without any fault, questioning my desire with it. I smile down at the fearful little thing and slip a kiss onto its forehead. Then I look over at you, watching as speculation forms onto your face, dimples breathing heavily; they were beauteous. I find myself grinning goofily at you, my smile, irradiating in that darkened world of yours, dear.

Stumbling slightly, I saunter through the lane. I let go. Your eyes linger on my stance before they follow the ball to its doom.

I was never good at bowling, my dear.
