I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone’s heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.
The other day at Total Wine, the cashier carded my boyfriend but didn’t card me.
Tonight, in the drive thru, the cashier called me “ma’am”. Respectful, I get it.
But have I suddenly aged 20 years or something? 😵💫
