It was today, but it was really any day. Two friends sat laughing and sharing life in an unspeakably beautiful and unique way. It was one of those friendships where rarely were words needed, and when they chose to use them it was as if the song of their soul was the same, merely with different melodies. This particular morning they were talking about The Bachelor, the show they both hate to love but are as caught in its’ spell as if it was a drug. A man walked past the doorway, he was a mutual acquaintance, a friend if we are using a generous term, and normally he would have walked by with a polite wave and that would be all. Life is normal. But today, today was different; this time he turned around. And with the simple pivot of his foot, everything had changed. With each step he took back towards them her heart raced at the thought that maybe today would finally be the day when all her insecurities, her fears, could fade as quickly as a dream leaves the mind of the awakened with a single look; one of acceptance.
