(Sydney)
As the bus rumbles into Harbor Point, I press my forehead against the
cool window, watching the familiar streets unfurl like scenes from an
old movie. My earbuds funnel my favorite playlist directly into my
brain, each song a pulse of the life I’m leaving behind.
I can’t help but let my eyes wander from the changing landscape to the
girl sitting next to me. She smells like jasmine—light and sweet, a scent
that’s instantly calming and impossibly enticing. She’s breathtaking, too,
with skin that radiates under the bus’s harsh lighting and lips so full they
look like they’re crafted from velvet. Her hair cascades in soft waves, the
kind that you can’t help but imagine running your fingers through.
I sneak glances, feeling a stir of something adventurous, a whisper of
my recent escapades on the cruise. But as the bus edges closer to the center
of town, a sinking feeling tethers the wilder parts of me. Harbor Point is
small; the kind of place where secrets are luxury items that nobody can
afford. Here, everybody knows everybody, and every whisper of change
becomes a headline.
The thrill of my newfound sexuality, the liberty of my life at sea—
feels like they’re slipping through my fingers. I worry that coming back here
might mean shelving parts of myself that I just started to unveil and
understand. The thought of dimming these newly discovered lights within
me to fit into the muted tones of Harbor Point is disheartening.
I pull out one earbud, the real world mixing with the remnants of my
playlist. The girl next to me catches my eye, smiles softly, and it’s a small,
perfect distraction.
I imagine what it would be like to ask for her number before I get off,
then I venture further into my imaginations, visualizing what it would be
like to kiss her full, juicy lower lips that just curled into a smile.
But then, the bus grinds to a halt, and she waves goodbye to me.
She gets off, taking with her any hope I had of asking her out. Just as I
am wallowing in my sorrow, my phone rings and I see Natalie’s name flash
across the screen.
“Hi,” I say, my voice carrying a note of melancholy.
“You sound like you just realized being gay was a phase,” Natalie
quips, her voice overly cheerful and grating on my nerves.
“Shut up. I just entered Harbor Point, and it hit me all over again why
I left in the first place.”
Natalie pauses, likely sensing my mood shift. “That bad, huh?”
“Worse,” I admit, staring out the window at the familiar, yet foreign
streets. “It’s like stepping back into a time capsule—one I desperately don’t
want to open.”
She sighs sympathetically. “Well, just remember why you’re back.
You’re not staying, right? Just a visit.”
