Luke handed Jamie his debit card and their hands touched for just a moment. Jamie’s hand tingled with a shock of electricity. She dropped the card onto the counter and stared up at Luke for a brief second. His blue eyes sparkled and Jamie wondered if he felt the same bolt of lightning.
He looked at Jamie and said, “You’ve grown up a lot. Where is that gawky teenager I used to know?”
“Well, you know, people do that. They grow up. They change.”
“They get a hell of a lot prettier, too,” Luke said.
Then, as if he realized what he said, he added, “Not that you weren’t beautiful before.”
Jamie grinned at him.
“I really doubt if you noticed, one way or the other. You always had girls dripping off of you. You were a star in every sport and the prom king.”
Luke laughed and said, “That time seems like so long ago. A million years ago.”
“It does seem like forever. I can’t believe how innocent and naive I was about life.”
“Growing up has a way of changing us.”
He smiled and gestured at the debit card that she was still holding.
“Do I get that back?”
“I don’t know. I was thinking that I could do some shopping later,” she quipped, handing him the card.
Once again, her hand buzzed with warmth and electricity as their hands brushed.
“I guess I should be getting back to the store,” he said. “It was good to see you again.”
“You, too. Come back soon,” Jamie replied.
He smiled at her as he left.
“Girl, what was that all about?” Clara asked.
“I have no idea what you are talking about.”
“If you flirted any harder with him, you would have had him laid out on one of those tables.”
“I was not flirting. I was merely having a conversation with an old classmate who I haven’t seen for forever.”
“Sure, you were. Just a conversation,” Clara said, laughing as she walked away.
