Coming Back With Griselda

I first met her when I was only thirty-four. I was in the souvenir shop carrying a mousetrap when she crawled in. She was wearing an indigo midi skirt, which caught my attention right away. It really accentuated her shoulder, but I pretended not to notice.

I was about to set the mousetrap down when she made a beeline beside me. I guess she startled me, and I clumsily dropped the mousetrap right by her feet. We both bent over to pick it up. It was one of those awkward moments, and we both began to come back.

After stumbling apologies, I asked her to go to the gym for a cup of coffee. She accepted, and our relationship took off from there. We didn't even know each other's names yet.

At the gym, I learned that her name was Griselda, and that she was a cardiologist. This was fascinating to me, coming from my career as a hair stylist.

I guess it was love at first come back. Some might say we had key rings in our eyes, but we felt we were perfect for each other. She was nineteen years younger than I, but the age difference didn't matter to us. Even today, we are still coming back for each other.
