Herman thought he had everything in life. He was an ace student budding off to a wonderful career. Above all, he had a wonderful relationship with a most wonderful girl.
His world came crashing down one fateful day, when his wonderful girl turned her back on him. She went off with his best friend and left him hanging in the balance. All of a sudden, his world looked bleak. His plans with her for their future was now nothing but a big void with nothing to fill.
Christine was an old time friend of Herman. She did have a crush for him before Herman was involved with a relationship. Nothing came out of the crush and life went on for her. That was until she heard of his plight.
Egged on by common friends, she came into his life as a sliver of light. Sitting silently next to him, she gave him comfort. She silently reminded him, that he has a lot more to live for. She tried to lift him out of his despondent state.
It all happened in a whirl. In Herman's confused mind, a collage of thought blended. He said nothing but embraced Christine and they entwined in a passionate kiss. She did not resist. For a moment, time stood still, the couple in an interlock of overflowing emotion expressed in a framed picture in time.
It ended when their lips parted ways. He could only look into her eyes. She laid in his arms saying nothing. He would just silently caress her soft flowing hair. Twirling and playing.
In his mind he asked himself, "What now?"
Answering his own question, he spoke aloud, "I will try..."
She just looked at him, as his fingers continued twirling her hair...
