Freezing “Well I can’t let you freeze, can I? I mean I wish I could, you’re a bastard but…I’m not so get inside before you lose feeling.” Leaving “In six minutes I’ll be in that cab heading to the airport. I’ll be in line, through a tunnel and then comfortably seated by the window waiting for a meal and a movie while a stewardess named Gwen helps me figure out which type of champagne I want so please tell me what you’ve been dying to say to me before you lose your chance…please.” Left wanting more I dropped Veronica. She was rambling on about her hair not having enough color to it and how she’s never going to meet someone if her hair isn’t vital enough, long enough, and shiny enough. I said I had to use the bathroom. Can we go?” I squint my eyes to see if this is really Penny. Something inside is telling me this is a fake. A fake girl who is pleading with me to take her home. I nod slightly and shout over the music, “wanna get a bite to eat?” She grabs my hand and leads me out of The Pet Saddle and back to my car. Fishing for the keys inside my pocket she touches my leg and I bit my lip. The touch of a woman sends me back to my junior high days when all I dreamt of was closeness and all I received was distance. She realizes what she is doing to me and stops. I feel cold and she says “not like that” unlocking the door.
