Young Adult
With the Ex
I am in the coffee shop with you, the one we used to go to together after our usual coffee shop closed. I am sitting on one end, my face to you, looking busy writing these notes in a marble-covered, quad-ruled composition notebook. You are at the window on the opposite side with your body turned slightly toward me, occasionally glancing my way with a gaze cast slightly above my head before sweeping your attention to your computer. I hope you shift to steal the same glances I am between deep breaths and knotted deglutition. It is impossible to know. Maybe you shift to better let me see your face, knowing that’s exactly what I’m trying to do. Or, more likely, you shift to keep your eyes from burning in the sun reflecting off the snow outside and shining through the picture windows. Perhaps the angle of your body keeps your delicate blues intact, and nothing else can be gleaned from your position.

Stargazing
It was her first beach party. There was something primal about it with the bonfire spitting sparks into the sky and the crackling cackle of wood burning. The sea's constant wash added to the sense of timelessness and ritual, the moon bright, sprinkling its silver shavings on the surface of the ocean so the night was imbued with magic. Drink was helping create this sense of a forbidden gathering. And the stars! The stars! Mara had never seen stars like them away from the muting of the streetlights.

I settled into my seat across from Dobie, captivated by the glint in his eye as he began weaving his tale of surviving the treacherous Turtling hurricane. While I suspected some embellishments were at play, I was eager to hear the story of a seasoned raconteur. The starry night sky above, the warm breeze against my cheek, and the gentle rocking of our ketch in the tide's ebb created the perfect ambiance.
