that makes me feel. Here, now.
You’re my new girlfriend, okay?
I don’t know if he means for real,
or for the benefit of the kids,
but either way, I’m fine with it.
I’m someone’s new girlfriend, at least
for the moment. “Okay.” I wrap
my arm around his waist. Seamless.
A Little Girl
Opens the door. She’s about six and looks
like an Irish doll—with bright green eyes
and soft red curls. Daddy! It’s Trey!
Trey reaches down, scoops her up.
How’s my little Devon tonight?
The affection between them is clear.
The doorway shadows. Brad is younger
than I pictured him, somewhere in his late
twenties, and there is a definite resemblance
to Trey. Okay, you get what I mean by
that. For an older guy, he’s really cute.
LaTreya stands behind him, attached like a tail.
Trey pushes inside, reaches around
Brad to tickle LaTreya under the chin.
She can’t help but giggle. Stop it, Trey!
Trey reaches for my hand, pulls me across
the threshold. Hey, everyone, this is Kristina.
He kisses my forehead. Isn’t she pretty?
The kids give dubious looks, and I suspect
a fair amount of jealousy. They want to be
his girls. [Tell them to get in line.]
