Doing Ecstasy In The Desert
-years ago-
-laying in bed watching movies together-
Me: Oh hey! I know that actor! He's dating the actress from Men In Trees! I can't remember her name...agh....
Him: Hmmm not sure
Me: She was a lesbian for a while
Him: Hmmm
Me: And then she did ecstasy and got lost in the desert. But who hasn't done that.
He looks up from his coffee and let's out a bewildered laugh.

Beautiful Stranger
"Come into the line with us!" His friends wave for him to budge. He shakes his head no and stays behind me. He ends up buying a large and we sit on a wooden bench sharing poutine at 3am.
Him: What do you paint?
Me: Mostly portraits of people-when I first meet them. People are so beautiful. I go home and I'm just like, "Woooow this person is blowing my mind right now! I have to paint them."
Him: You see the good in people
Me: Haha my greatest skill and weakness in life. I always find parts of people's personality to love
Him: Do you have a girlfriend?
Me: No we broke up
He leaves his fork resting on a fry and looks up at me
Me: It's fine
Him: No it's not. That's what people always say when it's not fine.
I kiss him on his left cheek and say goodnight. I reach out and gently touch the side of his jawbone.
