First And Main

I stood at the corner of Main and First, and waited.

Both streets were fairly busy, in all four directions, all the time. There wasn't a crossing between the side i was on and the opposite side, but obviously going around three of them by crossing the other way would take too long.

So, I waited, calmly, for the traffic to clear up enough that I could run across.

After a half hour, there was a stretch where there were no cars.

But I still didn't want to actually get to her house, so I waited for a better moment.
