“When you look in my eyes, please know my heart is in your hands.”

There in the doorway
I stood before her.
Everything she would need for the next 25 years was there.
And for a moment, even if ever so briefly,
I thought I saw this realization flash through her mind.
It could have been the way she wore that crooked smile –
A dash of defiance with just the faintest hint of insecurity –
Or maybe the way the afternoon rays lit her face from the northeast.
Either way,
It was clear that something had snapped open at that moment.
“You know, Ringo, you really should call me once a month.
I won’t be as busy as your convoluted mind wants to believe.
Don’t even give it too much thought, promise to send me a ring every other week, okay?
It would make me happy.”
And with that I shot her a slight nod and lifted her luggage.
As I turned around and headed towards the taxi
I could feel the warmth of her heart wrapping around my chest.
It was the middle of winter but it felt like July.
As my smile broke I couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
My dense breath fogged the chilly air.
