Beautiful


I swallowed. My mind raced. His dark hair, the colour of the darkest night sky. A dark trimmed beard with a slight bluish tint. His eyes were cold. Empty.

He was beautiful.

He held out his hand, waiting patiently for me to shake it, and in a robotic motion, I did so. My palm was sweaty, and I worried he’d pull his hand away, repulsed by my touch. I felt small with my hand in his. Like a child. Like a young girl that was attempting to enter a world she didn’t understand. 

My breathing picked up, and it took a great strength to stop myself from becoming too anxious and having an attack right there and then. 

‘Please,’ the man said. ‘Sit.’

Until next time,

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
