![]() It’s 8pm. Misty is already asleep. Ben is watching TV--one of those old black and white sitcoms that are always being re-run. I hear a car crunching on the gravel outside. I lean over and kiss Ben on the cheek. Not a peck, but a kiss. I put my hand on his head. His hair is thick. He turns to look at me. My heart beats. I’m surprised. His eyes are very, very round. He has lashes that girls would love to have. He sits up enough to kiss me on the cheek close to the crease of my lips--not a dry touch--not a child’s greeting or goodnight, no, a kiss that leaves me longing.
