==================

“Can I call you?” he asked softly.

I slumped the top of my head into his broad chest, and his arms came around me.

I had arrived at a junction, and no small one. I could easily answer no and go back to a life that I knew would be prudent. The road more traveled is always the safer one. But tonight I had glimpsed the other, a gloriously uncertain path that would take me far beyond my comfort zone, embodied by a man whose heartbeat was fast and strong beneath my cheek.

What promise did that road hold? And who would I need to be in order to walk it? I didn’t yet have the answer, but I closed my eyes and took the first step, anyway.

“Yes,” I told him.

I wasn’t naïve. I knew exactly what I was agreeing to. Not just a phone call, not just another date or another gig to attend. But joy and heartache. Pleasure and pain. Life for those brave enough to really live it.

In the cool of the evening, I slid out of his grasp and started for the waiting cab.

“Mel.” I turned at the sound of his voice. “What did you think of the show?”

I smiled. “It was…exceptional.”
