Two Hours Later

Walking into the lobby of Thompson Gild Hall where Mark is staying, we stroll holding hands to the elevator. I look around. From the cool mix of wood and stone, to the modern furniture rocking a 1960’s retro vibe. to the packed bookshelves, to the silver antler-shaped chandeliers, I can tell this hotel caters to the men who work on Wall Street. It’s nestled in the financial district, after all. But the masculine décor strikes me as another sign that women still haven’t balanced out the gender ratio in some of the more powerful professions. This place is designed to appeal to men, not women. But I keep this annoyance to myself. I do like the vibe. It’s a very nice hotel and my artist’s eye can’t help but picture men with pipes sitting in the lobby oozing smoke and ego, with women on their arms in beehive hairdos, dying for the sexual revolution to start, panties pulling at the seams at the urgent need for freedom.

Mark pushes the elevator button just as an older man in a suit walks up. The three of us wait, facing the doors.

Mark throws me a sideways glance. “What’s got you smiling?”

I look up at him. “Just happy.”

The businessman looks over at me, then looks back to the closed elevator. He appears to be nearing fifty; graying hair, very distinguished and upper class. What was he thinking just then? The doors open and the three of us step in. Mark and I stand near the door, our sides touching. He puts his arm around me and I lean my head on him.

“Excuse me,” the businessman says, as the door opens on floor two.

“Oh, sorry.” I scoot closer to Mark to give the man room.

After he steps out, he turns around and looks right at me. “It’s nice to see someone happy.”

A smiling flush flashes across my face as the doors slowly close. He tips his hat just as he disappears.

Mark laughs. I look sideways up at him. “That was nice of him.”

“True though. It’s always nice to see someone happy.”

I don’t tell him I don’t agree with him. There’ve been times when I’ve felt very lonely and happy people just made me more depressed. Like some of those nights I was a fifth wheel. That’s why I didn’t go out with everyone the night before Amber and Josh moved in together. I was in a dark place and seeing my girls paired off was something that would make it darker somehow. Have I wanted a relationship this whole time? I shiver at the thought. Who knows how to even do that anymore? One person – all the time? Letting them really see me, hold space for me… love me?

The doors open and Mark lifts me off my feet to carry me out. I yelp in surprise, so lost in my thoughts, I didn’t expect this!

“I’m glad you cancelled plans for me. I’m feeling very selfish right now.”

I kiss him. “I can see them anytime.
