she found me on the bathroom floor, knees held to my chest, my breathing discordant and clashing with the dance music playing outside the door- she introduced herself with a princess’s name and took my hand in hers. i was led out through the jostled crowd, but with our linked fingers, i did not feel afraid. we found an isolated table in the distant corner and she pulled my chair out for me. i sipped her vodka-juice and everything was easy. i do not know if we talked for two minutes or two hours but i do know it wasn’t nearly long enough. i do not know if we kissed for two minutes or two hours but i do know it wasn’t nearly long enough.
