At the door of the
café, after she’d locked up, he kissed her goodbye lightly on the lips, not as
a lover, but as a friend.
He’s gay, she told herself as she cycled home. He’s
not in love with me. He prefers men. But no matter what she said to herself, in
her heart, she believed otherwise. She
cherished her love for him. Love songs
came to have a new meaning. Seeing a man
on the street who looked like him made her heart turn over.
She tried very
hard not to let him see what had happened.
At least he is my friend, she
thought. Better than nothing. A lot better than nothing.
But whatever it
was, she was happy. Happier than she’d
been since she was a little girl. Her happiness
coloured her life, changed her face, made her shine.
