Love at Sea

“Be careful sweetheart.”
“I will. It’s not like it’s the Titanic.”
“What if it is?”
“Mom, I. Am. Not. Rose.” I pronounced every word with perfect articulation so my mother would understand.
“You never know.”
“Hmm… okay mother you win! But it’s not going to happen.”
“Think what you want. Oh, and if you to meet happen Jack let me know, he was my favorite.”
“Okay mother.”
“ALL ABOARD!”
“Mom, I have to go, I love you.”
“I love you too. Say hi to Aaron for me.”
“Will do.”

That was it; I was on my way to Italy to visit my uncle. I hadn’t seen him since I was two. Ever since the divorce he stopped coming for Christmas.
Now I was leaving my scatter-brained mother to see him before I go off to college. I feel guilty for leaving my mom, but she has Phoebe now. My aunt came to help out since I was going away to college in a few weeks…thump!

“Oh, I am so sorry.”
“No problem,” the guy I just bumped into answered.
“Um… I guess… I’ll see you later.”
“Definitely.”
Who ever that guy was he was gorgeous. Beyond gorgeous actually, more like handsome. I can’t wait until I run in to him again. Figuratively speaking, not literally like what just happened. I wonder what his name is. I bet it’s something cute like… Max or something.
