Mission

It could be said that he swept her off her feet…

She met him at her friend’s birthday party, a little before Christmas. He was entertaining a group of guests with one of his stories, when he saw her. Their eyes met, and it was soon after this that he appeared beside her and began chatting. It made her feel quite special to think that he made time to introduce himself and offer to refresh her drink. Especially, when considering that most people who knew her would say she was a bit of a wallflower. Some would say she was an introvert. It was true, her normal preference was to happily remain on the sidelines in social situations, such as the one she was in. Anyway, that was when they started dating.

Wherever they went, he would tell jokes. He obviously enjoyed being the centre of attention. He was continually striking up long conversations with people, and usually did most of the talking. Even when it was only the two of them together, she found it difficult to get a word in edgeways. Despite this, she admired his never-ending love of life. Because of his bubbly personality, and her lack of it, she found the ongoing swirl of nightclubs and parties a thrilling diversion from her true nature.

It was sometime during the second month of their going out together that the extreme difference between their personalities came home to her. Although she didn’t want to break up with him, it had come to the point where, more and more, she found herself wishing he would just stop talking!

It was around this time that she came up with a strategy. In fact, it was more of a mission. She decided that whenever they were together, either alone or with others, she would simply stop talking. She would do this on an ongoing basis, until he noticed. She was thoroughly convinced that her silence would make a statement. At which point, they could have a really meaningful conversation about the whole thing.

This situation continued until the day they were in town together. They were each doing some Christmas shopping for family and friends. It was when leaving one shop and making her way to another that the horrible truth came crashing in on her.

He simply hasn’t noticed, and her mission… it had been going on for the best part of a year!
