Fire Escape

Her hand reached out to mine from the ladder up to the fire escape.

The last hour had been... Busy. I'd always assumed that those movies where some amazing woman just dropped into a guy's life and changed it was just a fantasy of boring nerds.

But after starting with her jumping into my lap to get some drunk guy out of hair, I'd maxed my credit card, become viral, and was now here, with her offer clear in terms of what she'd do for me.

I've stopped wondering what it would have been like if I'd taken her hand.
