“What is that?” she asked.
“A shortcut to my heart.”
“Is it really?”
“Yes. Are you game?”
“Not sure, is it a rocky shortcut or a smooth shortcut?”
“Depends on you, but rest assured I will be there to catch you.”
“Am I in danger do you think?”
“Only if you hesitate.”
“If I do hesitate it will be all cut short won’t it?”
“Sadly yes. No coming back from there.”
“Sorry.”
“Guess that’s it?”
“Afraid so.”
“So much for that short cut, cut short in the prime of his life.”
“It’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes.”

Good one, Michael. I Like the tagless dialog.
Thanks John hope you are doing well
Yes. All is well. Thanks and you?
Doing ok thanks John, still able to put words in coherent order, I think.
Hmmm. I think so too.
He missed out on love.
Sadly I think so too.
hmmm, some people don’t like short cuts. Maybe he should offer walking the long way with her as she does sound like the cautious sort.
Very good point..thanks for stopping by.
Sad…
Thanks for reading.
