i was talking about sensual amber when she winded me, bluntly, out of nowhere, without any indication or warning. i think it was body wash in particular when she shifted from beside me to directly across from me, which strangely enough, struck me as odd. i sat with my mouth agape taking in her words, absolute shock, for a long while without any reaction other than ‘WHAT??’ at some point, i managed to pick my mouth up off the floor while still in a full daze. i wiped the corner of my eye which watered with the news and many times thereafter. we sat around speaking of every minutia, the common, the uncommon, the $50 worth of confirmation (in her typical virgo fashion), the calm before the storm and ultimately the truck which collided into her. i’m not sure what the expression on my face read or how my reaction was interpreted, if it genuinely expressed my sincerest emotions which are those of genuine heartfelt happiness. i worry that the jolt she gave me hindered my true expressions and left me momentarily paralyzed but I am certain she knows, she must know. i am tickled pink.
