We got out of the car and went to a field that I oddly thought might have made a good place to play baseball or football or soccer even though I never play sports anymore or never really did even as a kid.
I sat on my haunches and...
wondered what was I going to say to her in that long thick silence.
It was night and I heard no cries or calls of animals or machines.
I hoped that Gina wondered the same thing.
I remembered as a boy getting so bored I’d dig a hole that looked something like this and then I would fill it up again so it looked somethinglikethis just for something to do.
I wondered if Gina had ever dug a hole in her life.
Admittedly, it was a strange thing to wonder.
