Back Then

"I don't know if he noticed that I was shaking, but he took the pen out of my hand, passed it to his right hand and let his left one also rest on my desk. He slowly brought his pinky finger close to my hand. I was looking at our hands, but he seemed to be looking the other way. I breathed heavily, and he did too, when his finger finally touched mine. He held my right pinky finger with his left one and there we stayed for the rest of the talk.

I shouldn't be doing this, because although he was single now, I wasn't."
