Me ‘OBK?’
OldBirdKing
‘Yes, Saskia.’
‘Did you miss me when I was in Greece?’
‘Yes, yes I
did. As a matter of fact most of us did.’
‘Really…..’
‘Absolutely.
And you, what about you?’
‘What about
me?’
‘Did you
miss us in sunny Greece?’
‘To be
perfectly honest I hardly missed you, there just wasn’t any time.'
‘What do
you mean?’
‘Well the
first day, when I wandered off on my own, on my solitary beach hike, I missed
you especially. I had conversations with you in my head and thought how much
you would have enjoyed the views and the sun. The rest of the week activities
with everyone else took over and I completely forgot about home…..’
‘As it
should be, well all I can say is I’m very glad you’re back.’
‘So am I
OBK, so am I’
‘OBK?’
‘Yes
Saskia.’
‘Will you
always be here when I go away and come back?’
‘Yes I will.’
‘Promise?’
‘Promise.’
