It’s as they say
There should be a saying for it
If there isn’t one already
Anyways
She didn’t work yesterday
The one who
Held her hand in marriage
Didn’t show
The nurse had been given the day off
The dragon
Was eager to know
Where she wanted to go
With such insistence
Raising her suspicions
Wasn’t part of the plan
Because their secret
Was now her secret
And she needed to keep it
That advantage
Close at hand
So there was no escape
And today she was still looking
For a way to get away
She would’ve called him
If she had a way
If he had left a number
And her mode of communication
Was still her own
The saying goes
Something like
This
Isn’t the time
To relapse into clichés
As it was already midday
Saturday
The third day
And there had been no further exchange
Of words
What if
What if
What if
The many that crossed
Crissed back and forth
Through her brain
After five days
Would his patience be the same
She knew deep down
Today she wouldn’t play the dame
The nurse was still off duty
And she couldn’t reach
Her
Daughter’s cries
Indicating
She needed to be changed
Then feed her
Maybe she should take her
But that seemed out of character
Is that how he wants to meet her
She remembered the place he spoke of
And it wasn’t ideal for an infant
Either
Way
How would she leave
Get out
Without someone following
Feet
Close behind
Shadowing her features
Following the leader
Reporting back to the dragon
And what if
He only wanted to see
Not keep her
Why hadn’t she thought of that before
There was no way she was a keeper
Doubt set in
And since the note had blown away
With the wind
She had no way of checking
His tone
If only
This wasn’t a fairy tale
And she could just
Dial a phone
