So not gonna share the reunion conversation ... fair I suppose.

Mean, but fair.
Not much of a convo, she had paperwork for us to fill, got it to each one individually, looked at me, laughed, dropped the papers and turned around.

We talked later... many times. We used the same smoking corner, shared cigarettes as we did all Summer, carried on being friendly. My colleagues were very jealous, but, there was no bad blood (that I knew of). I was really good with languages, had top grades on Portuguese too, so, adding that motivational company, was just the thing... I never told anyone from where I knew her... just that we were friends.

She married a friend of ours, couple years later, I was in the Army, couldn't go. They moved to France, never heard of them again.

Satisfied?

Peace :D

I've run into girls out & about whom I know from titty bars before. It's best to pretend you don't recall the name they were using (or too much else about them)... :)
We never mentioned where we met. Maybe she told her husband later... I dunno... we simply carried on as friends. She was only 3 years older than me. We met in school, a few times in a Disco, always had a good time together. Strangely enough, while she was beautiful and sexy, and I was a young buck, it didn't turn sexual, never even a kiss, aside the friendly ones that are customary in Portugal, one kiss on each cheek as a Hello.
No regrets. But, I do miss her laughter...

Peace :D

Well, the "never heard from again" throws a damper on the whole thing, but otherwise yes.

Yeah, life is like that you know... I moved, many times, made friends here and there... sometimes I wonder if they even remember me... if I still remember them all. Stories, so many stories, pieces of me, pieces of us... Some are a small paragraph, sometimes little more than a side note, scribbled impulsively... others, could be a ten tomes novel, if anyone bothered to write them. In the end, I feel that most of us are just side notes on each others stories, just fleeting impulses, noted down with intention, forgotten forever. Are we the writer? The story? The character? Maybe we are just the ink... with which others write their stories...

Ah well, this was "Thoughts in a rainy night" episode of this week...

Peace :)
