this morning #1643.
this morning, according to what she’d told me, sherri arrived at school a little late due to some trouble at home. long story short, she & her mom fought off a pack of raccoons. after school, she recounted the saga as we sat in the tree we’d climbed back on our first date. it’s hard to believe that that was only a couple days ago. i listened intently as she spoke. she has a captivating way of telling a tale. draws you in. keeps you guessing. i could listen to her talk for days. in the midst of my fifth “OH , WOW,” when i least expected it, she leaned in & kissed me. she took the lead. i couldn’t believe it. no girl’s ever made a move on me. not like this, at least. high up in a tree. risky but not too much. she’s just the type of danger i’m craving.
