I’VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO SWOON OVER A MAN.
I’d felt attraction to gorgeous guys and had pretty good sex in my twentyeight years on this planet. But swooning?
Nope.
In many ways, I was like the character I’d donned for the eight-year-old’s
birthday party that day. My strawberry-blond hair wasn’t the right hue, so I
wore a wig of tumbling, riotous bright red curls that were vivid against the
teal velvet fabric of my medieval-style gown. I had a bow (fake weapon)
looped over my shoulder and a brown belt slung across my hips, with a
quiver holding plastic arrows attached to it.
It wasn’t too hard to guess that I was Merida from Disney Pixar’s Brave.
This was a new character for me. I’d dressed up as many a Disney princess
for parties, but it was the first time someone had paid me to play Merida. This
character meant practicing a Scottish accent, and I didn’t think mine was too
shabby. Och, ah was quite proud o’ it, so ah was.
The birthday party was hosted in the fanciest Upper West Side apartment
I’d ever set foot inside, and I was feeling pretty connected to wee Merida
because we were both independent women who had no intention of settling
down with a man as a way of finding fulfillment in our lives. Merida would
never swoon.
I was pretty damn annoyed that while I was in that moment, really feeling
the character, making the kids laugh with my boisterous boasting and brogue,
my gaze lifted for a second from the birthday girl and I saw him.
The sight of the stranger struck me in a way I didn’t understand. But it
was like all the air fled my lungs. It felt like that time I got mugged when I
was nineteen and I tried to fight the guy instead of letting him take what little
money I had. He’d punched me so hard in the gut, I couldn’t breathe. It
wasn’t a pleasant sensation. It was discombobulating.
“Merida!” The birthday girl, Charmaine, tugged on my dress. “You were
telling us about the Loch Ness monster!”
I blinked, dazed. Thankfully, I was a great multitasker, because I
launched back into my story of being sent to kill the Loch Ness monster to
protect my people only to discover that he was a hilarious big softy that I
needed to protect from my people, and all the while I kept throwing glances
at him.
