Who knew a cancelled flight would turn out to be the best night of my life? He didn’t know what my life was like before he offered me a seat at his table. I don’t know how, but he could see I was crumbling inside. I had become an expert at hiding my true feelings and life’s desires but with Cash, he saw through the mask I had grown accustomed to wearing. That night with him was the first time I was able to be myself. He listened to me. For the first time in my life, I felt free, wanted, and cherished. But more than that, I felt seen. Our time together was effortless but unforgettable. But the night came to an end too soon. The first time I saw her I could see a sadness in her eyes. As the night went on, the sadness lifted and I found myself doing anything I could to make it disappear. But the night we spent in each other’s arms wasn’t enough. I needed more with her. Not just her body, her heart and mind. For the past sixteen years I’ve dreamt of her, compared everyone else I meet to her, and longed for just one more night with her. Then she walked into my small town and changed my life forever. Now I can only hope her accepting my love comes as effortless as loving her.
