Cheers, Sis
This is going to be my first date since…
I walk to my closet. I want to wear a dress- something cute and flirty. I try on my favorite yellow sundress. It has a little peekaboo hole near my cleavage. The sweetheart neckline is my favorite part. The dress cinches my waist and then flares out and stops just above my knees. My mind drifts to my last date. I had arrived fashionably late- I’m always late. He was already there by the time arrived. He had a warm smile and opened his arms to hug me. I felt I could stand there forever in his arms. I can still remember the scent of his cologne lingers- a heady mix of tobacco, pepper, bergamot tempered with the scent of fabric softener on his soft white polo. It made me laugh, sneeze and sigh. He smelled like home. He felt like home. We stayed in that restaurant for four hours before walking hand-in-hand to the city parking lot. We talked on the phone as we drove back to our homes. I thought in that moment; I had found HIM! I found my home…
