The Souvenir

SHE WAS TWENTY-THREE years old and had just broken up with her boyfriend and, on the spur of the moment, she walked into the office of a travel agent and told him she had to get away from Harrisburg.

She found herself days later in the Austrian Tyrol at a place called Igls in a hotel called the Sport sipping hot schnapps on the heated patio.

She saw him there. He was the most famous movie star in the world and she was a gorgeous young woman from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, with a broken heart.

He came over and offered to buy her a schnapps and she saw what a perfectly beautiful man he was. He was here, he told her, about to film a skiing movie. He asked her to dinner and she thought about it and refused, knowing she wasn’t ready for any new adventures of the heart. She knew, too, that he was very publicly married.

He knocked on her door at midnight as she knew he would. He had a chilled bottle of Dom Pérignon in his hand and flashed the most famous smile in the world at her. She was wearing nothing but one of her ex-boyfriend’s blue Gant button-down shirts. She let him in.

They made love three times, drank the Dom Pérignon, and hardly spoke. She drifted off to sleep and when she awoke, he was gone. The next day, she flew back to Harrisburg.

She’s happily married now to the man who was temporarily her ex-boyfriend. She is the somewhat matronly mother of three grown children. She’s never told anyone about that night in Igls. She still sees him on the big screen sometimes.

She kept that bottle of Dom Pérignon for a long time but it’s gone now. She doesn’t even know what happened to it. Tossed out or down in the basement in some box maybe.
