I reluctantly went to the super bowl party. On the way there, I was suddenly embarassed by my huge splint and its sling
I settled next to Carl in trying to not talk about my injury. But of course they asked.
Eventually people shifted around. And finally Bryan sat next to me. I don\’t know whether it was planned before, but it was just the two of us on the couch. For some reason, it just felt so comfortable next to him. I felt that it would change the moment he went away. I didn\’t want him to leave.
Toward the end of the game (he\’s anti-steelers since he\’s from cleveland), he put his arm around me and pulled me closer for \”good luck\”. Then suddenly it was like that, we were in each others arms for the rest of the time.
We finally went back to his place after a cold walk in the snow. We sat, playing with eacho others\’ fingers. Softly…
But nothing more.
He dropped me off slightly before 3. And I went inside, wondering what I could have done differently.
