The 19th of February
It was the
19th of February, Bernard hadn't yet visited the snow slopes this year.
Six weeks now waiting for his leg to heal. He was missing Alma, she
loved skiing. He hadn't seen her since the party New Years eve, that
celebrated night.
He would stop
in and see if she was in or leave a note if not. Too bad her
mailbox was full, or he would have left a message. He was
getting to know her fairly well, he was really anxious to see her
once again.
He
was heading to her door, hastening his pace when he saw a note.
Closer, he saw it was for him. She knew he'd called! Opening it, in
bold letters it said, “This year's a different thing, – I'll not
think of you.” With a tear in his eye, he quickly headed back
home.
