He waited for her at a window table, watching the passersby huddle into their coats. Having arrived twenty minutes early, he’d managed to rehearse a few polite phrases.
A second date is still that awkward state where two people are just beginning to truly see one another.
Of course, she was late.
He watched as she slipped off her light trench coat and found himself holding his breath. All his practiced lines—"How was your day?" or "Did you hear about that new exhibit?"—suddenly felt too loud, almost out of place.
She sat down, smiling innocently, blaming the traffic for her delay.
The wide boatneck traced her beautiful collarbones—as if she were still lingering in her favorite pajamas, bringing with her the lingering warmth of sleep.
And the soft draping of the pastel-toned knit, cinched in a knot, reminded him of a robe thrown on in a hurry.
She brushed back her hair, and he noticed the hem of her skirt sway, its scalloped lace edge brushing against her leg.
It was just the fine eyelashes of the lace caressing her ankles, but he suddenly felt as if they had long since crossed the line into something else — as if they were already 'us'.
He meant to ask something important, but his thoughts were a blur.
Everything in his head became a muddle: the soft draping of the fabric, open collarbones, the long, slightly tousled waves of her hair.
Against the hum of the café and the clatter of dishes, the lavender of the fabric began to slowly steal the distance between them.
Afterward, it seemed to him that he was still making polite conversation, but in reality, he was already there—within that silence she had brought with her in these clothes, straight from the threshold of her home.
