Several days ago Lithie asked me to write something, anything, and post it here.

It took me a few days to figure out what to write. I was (hell, I still am) a bit nervous posting something on her blog (y’all have read her writing, RIGHT?????) as I don’t think anything I will write could come close to her writing, but I’m posting it nonetheless (eeeeeek).

So, without further ado. My first blog post on Lithie’s blog.

It’s a beautiful summer day in Spain so I sit outside the café awaiting their arrival. I am writing a letter to a penpal as I wait. My iPod sings in my ears. I’m bopping slightly as I sit in the chair. The baristas are used to me by now, so they smile kindly as they go about their daily routines. I have been coming to this café for several months. I am a bit tired today having arrived that morning on the train from Paris.

I feel rather than see them approaching. Looking up, I watch as they turn the corner and I smile as they draw nearer. They haven’t spotted me yet, so I am able to watch them unnoticed. She is looking up at him as he laughs at something she has obviously said. They hold hands as they walk.

They’re so love and it makes me so happy for both of them. It’s been a long time getting there for them. She and I reside in Spain. He does not, although he visits her whenever he is able to. Our flat is not far from the café I now sit at.

He spots me first. She looks over when he points to me. A huge smile breaks out on her face when she, too, spots me. Turning off my iPod, I pull the earbuds out of my ears and place it on the table on top of the pad of paper I am writing on. Standing up, I move towards the narrow street to greet them.

After we hug and say our hellos, we return to the table and they order lunch. We talk for a bit and when their food arrives, I depart.
