We did not get through half the museum before my stomach started to rumble. Duncan seemed to take everything in without saying much. I was like a kid in a candy store. I was stopping to read everything, take pictures, and watch some of the special videos.

“You need to eat,” Duncan told me after the fourth growl. “Let’s go.”

“But…” I tried to protest, but he had my hand and was moving me toward the food court. “Duncan.”

“What would you like?” He waved his hand around as if it were his food court.

However, once the smell of the food hit my nostrils, I immediately started moving toward the likely culprit. We selected our food, sat and ate, chatting about some of the exhibits.

“Which one is your favorite?” I asked him.

He blinked and said, “Barack Obama being elected President of the United States and that road to the hope that he professes.”

My head jerked back at his response because that almost did not make sense.

“Wait?” I smirked. “You’re a Republican. Why would you be happy about anything regarding President Obama?”

Duncan took a sip of his water and stared at me with a look I had not seen before. He was serious and not trying to be funny.

“Racism is a fundamental component of this nation’s history. This entire museum is a confirmation of that fact. The first interracial, both of Kenyan and European descent, was a testament that the world is changing. I am different, too. Not like you, but I am different. And if an interracial President, or black as people often refer to him, could be President, it proves that people like me, different people, they could be anything too,” he shared.

This man was going to turn me into a damn sop. I was not a crier, but Jesus. This man. He was so sincere, honest, and he absolutely melted me.

“That is why you ran against Jake?” I confirmed.

He nodded once and turned away. His original story was that his friends baited him into it, but he was testing the theory.

“You’re courageous,” I told him. “Different or not. People that are considered normal would not have done what you did. So add that to your list of things I like about you, okay?”

I was smiling at him. Cheesing, in fact, and it was right there that he smiled back. It was slightly crooked, but definitely perfect.

Once we left the museum, hours later, we went to the seafood restaurant where they boil the food in front of you and allow you to add your own seasoning. We ate a lot, and I gave Duncan my own version of his survey, so I could attempt to capture what this man was giving out to me.

That evening, Duncan and I caught up on Single Parents. Then he randomly asked me, “Do you enjoy anal play?”

I blinked a few times as I thought back to the times, I had tried it. It had been different, but good. Then I began to think about who he would have done this with, and I tamped down on my jealousy.
