It wasn’t the sound of a body hitting the floor that registered right away.
The thump was in the periphery, a noise that stood out a little more than
the background conversations floating around her as Hannah chatted
with friends after the concert. It was the silence in the aftermath that drew
her attention to the mass of people who moved toward the opposite end of
the lobby in the Jewish Community Center of Manhattan.
Through a tangle of limbs, she watched them assist a man who had
fallen. Off to the side was a teenager, propelled out of the way by the everhelpful gaggle, and who now looked as if she couldn’t decide whether to
dive back into the fray or melt into the ground.
Hannah’s heart squeezed. She remembered too well what it was like to
be a teenager. With a half-smile, the kind you give to a kindred soul, she
walked toward her. “Everything okay?”
The girl kept her gaze focused on the grey-haired man being helped to
his feet. “Yeah, the crowd pushed and someone backed into him and his
knee buckled and… I tried to help, but they sort of took over.”
She definitely had the “melt-into-the-ground” look.
“You know, if you kind of look through all of them, put your shoulders
back and position your lips into a semblance of a smile, no one will notice
how embarrassed you are,” Hannah said.
The teen whipped around, straight brown hair swinging, and looked at
her askance. “Excuse me?”
“Hi, I’m Hannah.” She held out her hand, and after a couple of seconds
the teen took it. “Growing up with three older brothers who took great
pleasure in embarrassing me, I thought I’d pass along a little of the wisdom
I’ve accumulated.” She looked at the teen’s red cheeks and shook her head.
“I don’t have any suggestions for how to stop a blush, though. Wish I did
because it drives me crazy even today.”
The teen drew her hands to her cheeks and closed her brown eyes for a
moment. “Great, just great.”
“Did you like the concert?”
The girl shrugged. “The guys were hot.”
Hannah laughed. “I know, right? Especially the one with the deep
voice.”
Her face lit up. “Love him! Oh, I’m Tess, by the way. Sorry, my dad
would kill me for my lack of manners.”
“Your dad?”
Tess took a step toward the same grey-haired man who now limped over
to them, leaning heavily on his cane. “Are you okay?”
Hannah did a double-take. When she’d seen him fall, she’d assumed by
his cane and his grey hair he was elderly. Now, she vowed to get her sight
checked. Tomorrow. Sure, his salt and pepper hair fooled her from a
distance, but it was obvious he was one of those prematurely grey people,
because his face was unlined, his eyes a bright piercing blue beneath black
brows, his jaw square, and his posture straight and sure, despite his limp.
His hand, which grasped his cane, was powerful and not marked with age
spots. He was no elderly grandpa. He was gorgeous.
