A Night at the Museum

    As I climb the steps to my room my thoughts center in Cesare, why can’t I shake him. His eyes, the way he looked at me, no not at me through me. It felt like he was looking at my soul, I can still feel his gaze there at my core. What does he want with me? His look was so foreign I couldn’t read it. I’m used to people looking at me, often when they think I’m not paying attention, but this was different. People look at me with desire boys girls I can’t help it, but not him. I don’t think I’ve seen that gaze before. Getting to my room I take off the dress taking another look. I wonder how much I could get if I sold it, I don’t need a dress this nice. I'm not going to such a nice party again. I was only able to go to this one because Domanic needed a date. I wonder what happened with Cesare, when Domanic went to talk to him and he just left quite abruptly. I fish Cesare’s card from my purse, it’s simple just his name and a number yet I just stare at it entranced. I put his card up on my mirror and goto my bed. While I lay in bed I continue to think of Cesare saying his name over and over in my mind. Remembering the sensation of his gaze sent shivers down my spine, and I make a decision. I’ll call him in the morning, I need to know the meaning behind his intensity. The last thing I remember thinking before I fell asleep was of his eyes and how they made my body quake with anticipation.

How To Slip Away

  “ Why not just lose more?   Slip away and let them forget. Everything and everyone can be overlooked if you try hard enough. ”   The companion spoke to Vanessa in the dark during her day sleep. While the world moved around her, she realized that much like day world had begun to disappear that anything could be forgotten with enough effort.   “ Push . . . Us . . .Out. Feel the minds that would see slide right off. They inherently don ’ t want to see. Grant them their wish. ”   The feeling that Vanessa had learned from Cassius that first night moved from her arms, down her fingers, and slid out into the world.   “ Yes... ” The companion sighed in ecstasy. “ Can ’ t you feel the eyes of the world slide right off? Think of all the things that can be lost. Think of all the things that we can find. ”   The thoughts agreed. Sometimes it was best to move unseen, but sometimes it was best if people just let the things that used to be important to them slip away.

Sixth Course: Regent Punch

A social punch course is the intermission of a proper meal. A well-made punch possesses enough propriety to balance out the guests’ loosening morals and enough sweetness for their bitter tongues. The course should last just long enough to entice guests to stay after for a coffee and brandy. “She asked for you, specifically.” Liam was gleefully - insistently - skipping up Her front steps, grasping the hand of some old mate from the rowing team. Liam grinned and pressed his friend’s hand on the bell-pull. “Don’t mind the help. They’re dreadful. But She is going to love your work on the future of shipping logistics. She’s very interested.” Liam paused on his way back to his car. “You’ll tell me if She mentions me, yeah mate?” Liam did not expect an answer from... He’d already forgotten his name.
