Excerpt from Chapter 11.2

9.29.10

“just go over one,”
“..There,”
“no, the other way,”
“This?”
“no,”
“I,”
“one more from that,”
“That one?”
“that’s good enough, that’s fine, you can click on that one first and just get back to the other one from later in this page if you want to,”
For no real reason, their voices were at a whispered murmur. They were so close that you could see their delicate breath dancing with each other on each exhale.
“there you go, you can see even further down that that was kind of what you were talking about..”
“Yeah, a little. I can just go back to the other one”
“no, if you keep going it eventually talks about what they did with the odorono and heinz bottles and all of that stuff.”
“Ok,”
“yeah, you got it,”
At this point, he could almost feel her heartbeat pushing out into the thin air between them. He wanted to feel it.
“Hmm,”
He quieted his thoughts in case she was absorbing them from his head.
“ahh,”
“Ow,”
“oh wait,”
He couldn’t move.
“What are you doing? What is that?”
“i don’t know,”
They both rolled their eyes upward and reached up to their heads. He could feel her hand fishing around up there and it was impossible to tell where his hair ended and her’s began. They were locked by the hair.
“What is that?”
“i don’t know,”
“What? How did that happen?”
“i don’t know..”

….

Hours disguised as seconds, they continued to awkwardly untangle themselves. He tried not to let on that he somehow enjoyed it as she seemed miffed. She was doing all the work, after all, she had the deft pianist fingers.
“Oh,”
“ok,”
“Just wait. I got this side,”
“that’s my side..or my head”
“I’m sorry,”
“no, don’t be sorry, I have no idea what’s going on or what you’re doing…and I’m definitely no help”
“No that’s ok, I think I got it,” She smiled out loud.
He could feel his heart going now.
