Touchy

She looked forward to their weekly chats.

It was fascinating to hear about how it was going over there. He was a nice enough guy, but she knew there were some things he got really touchy about. Being aware of this, she did her best to steer away from certain sensitive topics. When this did happen, he would simply clam up. This meant that the opportunity to find out more about what it was like over there and hear more stories about what the people were like, would be lost. Some of the people there had truly amazing stories. It was almost a year since he left, but their nighttime chats kept them in touch. She sat looking at the clock. It was almost time to see if he was available. She understood that there were times when he wouldn’t answer, but understood his situation and would have to leave it for another evening.

On this occasion, she got through easily

He said, “Hi! How’s it going?” She smiled; he sounded quite chirpy.

After spending a few minutes, generally catching up with all the latest, she went on to describe recent events at work. She was telling him about the girl who worked in the same office, and how they had become pretty pally. She said, “We went to the club the other night. Wow! We certainly did a lot of dancing that night.”

After a pause, he said, “Yes, well, I miss that.”

She said, “Do you mean the dancing, or not being there?”

She sat, looking down at her lap with nothing happening. After a long-drawn-out silence, she shook her head.

With a sigh, she put the Ouija board back in its box and slid it under the bed.
