The show is just like any other show.
I should have known that from how excited my agent was about it. The more he tries to sell a show to me, the more boring it usually is. He was against the charity gig in Green Haven, and thatâs been the best thing thatâs happened to me in a long time.
The whole time, Iâm thinking about Ragnar. I did my best to reassure him, and he certainly tried to put a brave face on. He always puts a brave face on; thatâs who he is. But I could see how worried he was. That I would forget him as soon as I got back on the road. That getting back with him was just a fun little fling while I was stuck in a small town.
âI will come back,â I tried to tell him. âYou know that, right?â
âOf course,â he said. But he paused just a second too long before saying it.
Now, as I settle into the airplane, a voice inside me asks the question. âWhat if it was?â
But it wasnât. Iâve had flings before. Iâve even had flings that I thought would be serious. Iâve had flings where the other person broke it up, and flings where we just sort of drifted apart once we werenât around each other anymore. Iâm not the inexperienced, awkward boy that I was in college when Ragnar and I were together for the first time.
Thereâs no way to put it into words exactly whatâs different about Ragnar and our relationship. I could tell you all sorts of things that I like about Ragnar. I could tell you about the way he makes me feel. But at the end of the day, the simple fact is that Iâm not done with him. Our relationship is going somewhere, and I want to see where that somewhere is.
Meanwhile, the gig plods tediously along. There are two kinds of people who put on fashion shows: the ones who see models as artists who elevate the clothes they wear by lending them our personality, and the ones who see us as clothes hangers.
It doesnât take me long to figure out which one is running this show, and it makes the whole thing feel tiresome and lifeless. Even the other models seem somewhat bored and low energy. I wonder how many of them also have a Ragnar waiting for them someplace.
Well, either way, I give the show my best. The clothes are interesting looking with lots of dramatic, swooping cuts. I wouldnât mind if this style got more popular. The audience claps when we come out, and afterwards, a nice boy tries to flirt with me. I curve him gently and I head back to my room to rest.
As Iâm falling asleep, I feel bad for Ragnar. He really doesnât understand just how much he means to me. And of course, who can really blame him? I was the one who walked away from him all those years ago.
But what Ragnar doesnât understand is just how difficult that choice was for me.
