I stood nervously in Arrivals, butterflies in my stomach. Why had I ever agreed to this reunion in the first place?
I could have worn jeans and a T-shirt, but felt it was better for Jack (an old schoolfriend who'd kept in touch by email) to discover the 'new' me in public, where there was less chance of confrontation. I hoped he wouldn't reject my new appearance.
Then I saw him ambling down the concourse, looking equally as nervous. Or should I say, I saw 'her'.
Maybe this reunion wouldn't be so bad after all...
perfect little drabble
letting us imagine how the reunion will go from here.
The last line is probably a major understatement...
"Oh my god, you mean you-"
"So it's Jaqui now?"
"So many times I wanted to say something but-"
"Unlike a lot of guys, I always felt comfortable hanging around you..."
"Remember the time we-"
"And so THAT'S what you meant that time when you said-"
"Love your earrings!"
"Suporn in April last year? I must've just missed you..."
Etc.
~~~hugs, Laika
The new you...
...perhaps new but not so novel, yes? Short and exceptionally sweet. Thank you.
