Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract-we consumed each other. Yet, you know what they say about opposites. The two of us couldn’t have been any more different. I didn’t expect to fall for him-all before we even met. I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell. I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though. So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office. When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me. I might have held onto the mystery man’s phone for days-until I finally conjured up the courage to return it. I might have gone through all of his photos and called some of the numbers. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out. When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?Īctually, he looked like a God. He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.

Everything was out of its place and time on this full-moon Midsummer Eve. She had no doubt that if he had drowned, his ghost would be coming, dripping water through the misty graveyard, on this white night of midsummer, when the sallow gleam from the west showed the sun refusing to sink. If she were to see him, she would know he was dead for sure, and she could declare herself a widow and think herself free. She did not know if he was run away, or dead, or pressed as a sailor in the disloyal fleet that had turned on their king and now sailed under the rebel flag for parliament. She could not imagine angelic eyes on his erratic progress from sea to alehouse, and back again. This was the walking night for the dead, this night and their saints’ days but she did not think that her drunken violent husband had been under the care of any particular saint. It was the height of summer, the eve of midsummer, the apex of the year, and though the night was warm, she felt chilled, for she had come to meet a ghost. The young woman could hear the faint stir of the shingle as the tide came in, whispering across the mudflats, recoiling from the beach with a little hiss. The church was gray against a paler gray sky, the bell tower dark against the darker clouds.
