Excerpt
Hendrix didnβt strike me as ridiculous. Or impulsive. Or silly.
Why on earth, then, would he believe that there could be something worth seeking out with me? If thatβs what he meant at all. Which…he did, didnβt he?
Itβs confusing, and confusion makes me hide, on the whole. But since I canβt hide because Iβm the fucking teacher in this classβseriously, how did this happen?βand for some reason the educator is expected to stay present, I find my confusion turning to anger. It works itself through me until the beauty of our night together is cropped out of my memory and whatβs left is trite and fleeting. His presence feels nothing like flatteryβwhich it did feel flattering, admittedly, for a half second there in the midst of everything else. Now, though, it just feels invasive and unprofessional and mean.
Perhaps Iβd confront him about it, if I were a different sort of person, one who isnβt afraid to stand up to a challenge. One who isnβt afraid to live her life.
But Iβm not that sort of person, so after I give out the assignments and send the students on their way, I plan to gather my things and get on my way as soon as possible, so fond of hiding that I am. I was stupid enough to believeβor perhaps hopeful is the better termβthat Hendrix would let me do that, as heβd let me leave that night in Paris, not that Iβd given him a choice.
He doesnβt, though, of course. Of course. He approaches me, his leather camera bag slung over his shoulder, a man satchel underneath.
βCamilla,β he says in that American accent that makes me both cringe and swoon all at once, and for the briefest of moments I find myself considering something different for a change. I consider staying.
But underneath my long sleeve polo neck, my skin throbs with an intensity that equals the blaring of a car alarm, and I think of Fred waiting for me at home to take him out for ice cream and the dead husband who hurt me as much as he loved me and the ugliness that marks me inside and out. And in the chaos of those thoughts, there is no option to stay.
βYou being here is in bad taste,β I say before he has a chance to say anything else. βDonβt do this to me.β
I brush past him then, and with the heat of that brief contact following me in radiating waves, I rush outside to disappear among the Saturday-morning Londoners who are out enjoying the early signs of spring.
