We sat across each other at a table in a diner. I can feel her eyes burning into my head, I am examining the intricate wood grain and the menu's fonts.She says, "Say something."I look up and adjust my glasses. The sunrays filter through the glass windows coming in all bizarre casting odd shadows in the poorly lit place. Her face is unmoving, eyes intent. I am uncomfortable and have a million things at once to say but nothing comes out at all. I squirm and sink further into the cushioned seat, willing it to shallow me up whole. She opens her mouth seemingly to speak then abruptly decides not to. She grabs her bag instead, gets up and walks towards the exit. "Wait." I stand.Her arms are folded, one hand gripping the handbag tight. "Don't- I mean. What I want to say is."My heart thumps itself against walls of flesh and ribcage, I feel an overwhelming urge to asphysiate. "I just- Can I hold your hand tighter? Tighter than anything we know?" My voice waivers and comes out squeaky. I fear she does not understand what I meant.We stand unmoving along the diner aisle for eternity and a minute half. Her arms then unfold, no longer grips her bag till her palm's white. |

I'm intrigued by your writing, it comes across as having something of a soul itself. i don't know if this came from a real experience, but as a reader i really felt for these people through your words.
