It wasn’t over yet though. We walked to the car in the nearly empty parking lot. He teased me about something, I don’t remember what now. He looked at me with this magical sort of look and I thought: here it is, he’s going to kiss me.
He didn’t.
Someone heckled out from behind us. Two long lanky teenagers called
out something we couldn’t hear.
“What?” asked Christian. They walked toward us. They must have
been lost, I assumed. As they neared and I saw their meager clothes I
wondered if Christian had done some outreach activity that brought
him to them. He was such a great guy I just couldn’t believe he was
here with me. What had I ever done to deserve–
“Drop to the ground and give us all
your money!”
