... it's not right for me to pull her into a relationship with an older guy who already has a kid, when she should be young and get to do the things a young girl should do, not grow up too fast."
"Doesn't she get to decide that for herself?"
"Yes she does. That's what we're trying to figure out."
"Well shit. That doesn't really leave much room for me then, does it?"
"I'm afraid not. I am sorry, Mel. I hope you find that special someone. I really do."
"Are you sure you don't want to just take me to a hotel? I brought some special things to wear just in case." Mel looked Luke straight in the eye and tried her best come-on smile. "You know, like test drive a different car before you buy the one you've been looking at, just to be sure?"
"That is just about the best offer I've ever had. Really it is, and as tempted as I am, I'm gonna have to say no. Even though we're not married, or engaged, and we haven't even said we're exclusive, it'd feel like cheating to me, and I'm not a cheater. I'm sorry, Mel. I may be stupid to pass up this offer, but I just can't."
"God, I hope she knows how lucky she is!" Mel started to tear up.
"You'll find somebody, Mel. You will. I believe that. It's hard, but you just have to keep on looking until you find him. Try to look around at the people you know in real life, not just people who write stories, or who you only interact with online."
"But I feel like I know you so well from your stories. I felt like I could see the real ...
... you? Is it all just a lie?"
"It is and it isn't. In some ways it's a more perfect me. Real life is messier. Sometimes it takes me days to change everything around just right so it fits in a story. In real life you have to live it in real time, and things aren't anywhere near so perfect. You have to be willing to forgive people for not being perfect, and they have to forgive you." Luke paused. Mel did not say anything. "I have to go now, Mel. It was very nice meeting you but I have to go." Luke stood up.
"So soon? But I have so much more I want to talk about!." Luke's face told her it was over. "OK. It was nice meeting you, too. Thank you for agreeing to meet me, and thank you for being honest. There aren't enough people around who can be really honest when it's not convenient for them"
"Goodbye, Mel. Good luck out there!" Luke reached out to shake her hand. She stood and gave him a hug instead. Then he walked away and disappeared into the crowd. He did not look back.
Mel picked up her phone to call Kyra.
**********
Luke returned home. He knew Kyra would ask him what happened with "Confused.". He wasn't sure exactly what he'd tell her, or when. Ethan was on a playdate at a friend's. He'd arranged the playdate rather than ask Kyra to watch him, just so Kyra could be at the mall that afternoon, if she needed or wanted to. He now assumed Kyra was back at her house. But as soon as he walked through the door he was suddenly met by a little blonde burst of energy. ...
