A Test

He’s testing her again
A small test this time.
A glance in another direction
He’s so glad she’s not like all those other women
Those who want so much more from a man….any man.

She plays.
She knows the game.
It’s the price she pays
Being thirty and all.
No money or prospects

He wonders, if she knows of his game.
Naw, she’s too happy to be his.

It’s the price she pays
Being thirty and all
He wins.

She drinks her wine
Biding her time
She takes a big swig
And swallows her pride
