Just before he slid into his foreign whip, he’d left my mind in a frenzy and my body on fire. One wink and a thank you note with his number attached. “Call me if you’re ever in need.” Of course I was in need. I had been since the day I smelled his obnoxious cologne. Witnessed his intoxicating smile. Been blessed with his lingering presence. I’d become addicted. His absence was vexatious. Even, now, the thought of our differences keeping us apart had me strung out and stressed out.
