asked how i slept
grace gave me a hug
and asked how i slept.
grace gave me another hug
and said to text if i needed anything
or if i wanted to hang out.
i told her i would be going home that day
so we couldn't hang out like she had suggested yesterday
after we had exited the zip car
and she had finished telling me for the third time
how she wanted to get to know me more.
grace gave me a final hug and told me goodbye.
but it wasn't
because i saw her right after
as we were paying in line.
she made a joke about last night -
a joke i'd wanted to make but wasn't awake enough to follow through with.
