The splatter of raindrops hit the window pane as I peered through it,
gazing at my late aunt’s duplex, which appeared different from my last
visit nearly half a decade ago.
After quickly calculating how I’d navigate the rain, I paid the cab driver
and hurriedly opened the door, eager to reach the house without getting
soaked.
Clutching my miniature travel bag in my left hand, I reached for the door
handle with my right, swinging it open before stepping out into the brisk air
and promptly shutting it behind me.
As I got ready to move forward, someone accidentally bumped into me.
The sudden force jolted me to the side, almost making me lose my balance.
Immediately irritated, I realized plenty of things I hadn’t been briefed on.
Despite my aversion to rain, I was drenched under its relentless
downpour.
“I’m sorry–” His deep and smooth voice resonated with familiarity before
trailing into a hesitant pause.
Why was he offering me only half an apology? I mused, stooping to
retrieve my fallen travel bag from the slick pavement, its corners dampened
by the unceasing rain.
Resigning to my fate, I abandoned any notion of fleeing the scene, the
cold droplets seeping through layers of clothing, chilling me to the bone.
Raising my gaze from the ground, I couldn’t help but notice the definition
in his well-toned legs, outlined even beneath his sporty attire. Yet, as my
eyes traveled upward, they abruptly stopped at his face. In a split second, I
blinked rapidly, my mouth suddenly dry as I beheld the face before me.
I felt a piercing feeling in my chest as my eyes met Jacob Bradley’s; he
was my first in so many things, but had walked away from me years ago,
saying one of his father’s businesses in California or was it in Texas needed
attention.
It was evident he was speechless, caught off guard by a day he probably
never imagined would arrive.
Numerous thoughts raced through my mind, but amidst them all, my
foremost concern was my curiosity about why he was there. He cleared his
throat, preparing to speak, but I tightened my grip on the handle of my
travel bag and walked away without a word.
Reaching the porch, I retrieved the key from where the attorney had
indicated, then inserted it into the keyhole, all the while watching Jacob
disappear into the neighboring house.
As if running into him wasn’t tormenting enough, now we were
neighbors. It felt like an undeserved punishment.
Pushing the door open, I flicked on the light, revealing the sight of
scattered boxes strewn across the dusty floor. Closing the door behind me, I
began to peel off my clothes, only to let out a loud sneeze resulting from the
chilly air and the swirling dust.
