I first noticed you, sitting at the bar next to me playing Words With Friends.
Stories, Laughs, and yes more drinks were shared. Even more friends were made as we traveled along our way back to the lives we had escaped if only for a short time.
Funny a barstool and basket of peanuts used to be an invitation to meet people, talk to them and see eye to eye. Now it was a quick drink and an Ap. The bar scene was a sad place given most were nose deep and had blinders on.
I had decided not to fall prey and was resolute to not only SEE people, but smile at them as well. Shocking results ensued.
You were no exception. Eventually we caught each others eye, something clicked, we talked and even shared a laugh or two with fellow patrons before discovering we were on the same ferry back to Seattle. Bound now we celebrated with yet another toast together and set off with our bags and merriment.

All too soon, you were off on your way and I was off to mine. A plane ride for you, for me it was one more night in a hotel.
At 3:30 in the morning you woke me up with a text that you were home and safe- after all that’s what friends do.
