Dream Journal
I turned off all the lights in the office and locked the door because I was leaving for the day. I was walking down the porch steps when B stood up: he had been sitting on the railing behind the door. I stopped when I saw him.
He took two quick steps toward me and then stopped to look down at his nervously wringing hands. He said hi timidly, then turned and accidentally slipped off the edge of the porch into a pile of snow.
There had been bright yellow powder in the pile of snow, and it flew everywhere. He jumped back up onto the porch and, now even more nervous, avoided eye contact and stammered some nonsense while absentmindedly brushing yellow powder off his work clothes.
He managed to ask me if I wanted to go over to Cal’s resort for dinner; that Cal just finished it and it’s beautiful out there. He was very excited about Cal’s resort, and I could hardly believe he is asking me out on a date. I stood before him, silent, while he rambled about missing me and how much he thinks I would like the resort.
His rambling stops and he finally looks up at me. I open my mouth to answer him.
