Pine (part 4)

(Continued from yesterday. Click here to go back to the beginning.)

Jace tensed and his heart beat faster.

Jennifer swallowed. “This is really good.”

“Thanks.”

The page after that was a collage of Jennifer. She was cute, sophisticated, sexy, humble, studious, and numerous other qualities for which there are no words.

Jace panicked. “Sorry.” He fumbled with words. “I didn’t, uh, mean to, um, stalk you– or anything.”

Jennifer didn’t look angry or scared as she looked him in the eye. She took a breath. “Will you kiss me?”

Jace froze, like a deer mesmerized by a pair of headlights.

As if in a dream he touched his lips to hers, soft and full. She smelled good. He put his arm around her, and his hand passed over the strap of her bra. Her body was warm and there. She put her hand on his leg.

A moment later, he counted her eyelashes. He touched his thumb to her eyebrow and traced it around, and Jennifer snuggled her cheek into Jace’s palm. Her skin was soft. It was smooth. And she looked happy.

“I like you, Jace,” she managed. Then, with a lost smile, “I wish I wasn’t moving.”

“You’re moving?”

“Yes, to Seattle.”

“That’s pretty far,” he said.

“Yes, it is.”

“It sure is.”

“Can you sit with me for a little while?”

The next day, Jace had to walk on the grass as he passed by the house, because the green and white moving van was taking up the whole sidewalk. He hoped to catch a glimpse of Jennifer, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Now when Jace walks by the house, he sometimes sees two young children playing in the yard. Jace has Jennifer’s new address, and they’ve exchanged one or two letters. But he doesn’t know whether he’ll ever see her again. He figures, even if you’re an artist, sometimes you draw dead. Still he imagines he sees Jennifer sitting under the pines, reading or humming softly a tune Jace doesn’t know.

(The end.)

    Hello this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to
    manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog
    soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

    Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was
    just wondering if you get a lot of spam responses?
    If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything
    you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining,
    and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.

    The issue is something which too few folks are speaking intelligently about.

    I am very happy I stumbled across this during my search for something relating to this.

    of course like your web-site but you have to check the
    spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and
    I to find it very bothersome to tell the reality on the other hand
    I will certainly come back again.

    I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never
    found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth
    enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and
    bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    Почему пользователи выбирают площадку KRAKEN?

    Маркетплейс KRAKEN заслужил доверие
    многочисленной аудитории благодаря сочетанию ключевых факторов.
    Во-первых, это широкий и разнообразный
    ассортимент, представленный сотнями продавцов.

    Во-вторых, интуитивно понятный интерфейс KRAKEN, который упрощает навигацию, поиск
    товаров и управление заказами даже
    для новых пользователей.
    В-третьих, продуманная система безопасных транзакций, включающая механизмы разрешения споров (диспутов)
    и возможность использования условного депонирования, что минимизирует
    риски для обеих сторон сделки. На KRAKEN функциональность
    сочетается с внимательным отношением к безопасности клиентов, что делает процесс покупок более предсказуемым, защищенным и,
    как следствие, популярным среди пользователей, ценящих анонимность и надежность.
