The Glove
2015 ‘Just here please, on the corner. Thanks.’ Barbara thrust a £20 pound note at the driver as he pulled into the curb. ‘Keep the change.’ Bending to scoop up her canvas shoulder-bag from the floor, her eye was caught by a flash of vermillion under the front seat. On impulse she stuffed the item into her jacket pocket, before exiting the taxi. She glanced at the clock above the station entrance opposite. She was just going to make it. A biting March easterly swept off the Tyne, snaking through the streets, snatching at the hats and scarves of people hurrying between imposing neoclassical structures. Buses queued at obstinate traffic lights. She inhaled their fumes mixed with drifting odours of stale cooking oil from nearby take-aways.

Healing Fires
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the cozy A-frame cabin. There was an uncomfortable silence between us that made the air just a little bit colder with every breath. Oliver kept his eyes forward, his mouth a thin straight line. He hated driving in the snow. I offered to drive and received some sort of snort as an answer as he got into the driver seat anyway ignoring me.

The Worst Second Date
Dating is always a bit of a nightmare, especially when it comes to online dating. The first date with Nate went great. We met up at an Earl’s restaurant and we laughed a lot. I found him to be a charming, smart and very well-rounded individual. He was in medical school, yet he had his own place. Since the first date went so well, he invited me over to his house to have thanksgiving and it would be a great second date as my family lives out of town and it did not make sense for us to meet up for a weekend, when we would rather spend money on Christmas. I agreed to have Thanksgiving with him. However, I failed to realize, it would be his entire family. He gave me the address to the house and I knew right off the bat that it was an expensive neighborhood. I knew his family was made of money as this was disclosed to me on our first date. No, that is not why it went well. Anyways, I bought a brand-new dress and I looked good, did my hair and make-up, so it was subtle, yet perfect. I pulled up in front of the house and I was astounded to see the amount of cars that were parked in front of the house, there must have been around thirty or fifteen. I stepped out of the car. And proceeded to the house, the house sat on a large lawn with an ornament in the middle. The sidewalk was cleaned off to perfection. Not a drop of snow on it. I got to the front of the house and I was greeted at the door by a group of strangers.
