Day 17: Online

Online

Oh, I tripped over his feet at the beach.

How sweet, oohs, ahs .

We were classmates during a semester abroad.

How storybook like! Backslaps. Smiles.

She was teaching a class on krav maga.

He told me my pottery was nice!

At a wedding, we fought over our seats!

Teeters and hand claps, knowing head nods.

Church! The library! Deep sea diving!

A movie premier! A masquerade!

Laughter and high fives. Giggles and fist bumps. An Aurora Borealis. Sandwiches with the crust cut off. The last Skittle in the bag.

A dating app.

Silence. Head tilt.

It's 2015, so I won't go into how freaking out about online dating is like jumping onto a chair every time your pocket computer rings.
