Chapter 28

Common Ground

Danton

With amazing insight, a few simple questions, and well directed answers, Love had me figured out. Jumping right to the heart of the matter, her relationship advice was as practical as that of any shrink. Still, that didn’t mean I was ready to take the big leap. But it would make the smaller steps I had in mind more comfortable. I’d dated women before, but none like Love.

I’d only been with her a handful of hours but there was something special about her that I couldn’t put my finger on. There are those women you enjoy being with for short periods of time, the kind you count in minutes, no strings attached. Then there’s Love, the kind that sticks around, tying you to her with strings that are nearly impossible to untie.

“Twelve sounds good.” I agreed.

Now that the shock was over I was beginning to like the idea. A hot summer day full of baseball with a sexy woman by my side who had a sense of humor and liked to eat. What could be better than that?

“That song you were singing, what language was it in?”

“Gaelic.”

“Speak any others?”

“Enough to be understood, you?”

“A little Spanish, a lot Italian.”

“Of course. Lei ama viaggiare?”

Consider me impressed, her question was asked flawlessly, no trace of an accent. My dad would love her. Oh, was that train of thought to soon for a self-proclaimed bachelor? I couldn’t help it. Since I’d come into contact with Love, everything was changing and I seemed helpless to stop it. “Ah, I do like to travel.” I answered, “When I can.”

“Favorite place you’ve been?”

“Italy. My grandparents had a farm there. I was able to visit a couple of times before they died. Paris is a close second. Yours?”

“Scotland, we have family there of sorts.”

“What kind of music do you like?”

“Everything but rap,” She confessed, “I can’t stand it. I don’t know how anyone can understand a thing that’s being said.”

“Me too. Jazz is my favorite.” Dumping the last of the shells into the discard pile I reached for another.

“Okay, here’s a good one. If you could have any super power, what would it be, and would you use it for good or evil?”

It was a good question. “Flying.” I answered without hesitation. “It’d be better than driving a sports car and less costly, and though I‘d like to use my new found powers for evil, because everyone loves a good villain, I‘d be good.”

“I’d like the power to see the future, premonitions. I really hate surprises. Must be the control freak in me.” Love confessed,

Control freak, it was a sentiment I understood that well enough. “Biggest pet peeve?” I asked and then began to wish I hadn’t. For a second I was afraid Love wasn’t going to answer. Her hands full of crabs and pliers stilled, her face going blank as she thought about her answer. When she spoke she seemed to be a thousand miles away.

“Liars, hands down.” She answered empathetically, her hand increasing the pressure on the pliers until the shell of the claw splintered apart adding depth to her answer.
