“Where are you?” I inquired without attitude.
“On the golf course.”
“The golf course? But you were supposed to meet me at IHOP 45 minutes ago.”

“I know. I’m really sorry. But, I got hung up here playing a few extra holes. I lost track of time. I’ll be there in 15 minutes. You’re not mad are you, babe?” Colin asked while twirling his tail.
God bless him. He had so clinched the deal for me. I couldn’t help but smile. Not only because right now everything was so crystal clear, but because Tulip was giving me the encouraging thumbs-up sign from the syrup stand.
“I’m not mad,” I said softly. “However, I won’t be here in 15 minutes, so please take a seat in your cart. I have something to say.” My planned speech went out the IHOP window, and I spoke to him directly from my heart.

“Your resurrection in my life has conjured up a lot of spooky ju-ju, y’know. You’ve been very tempting, I must admit. I was starting to let myself be seduced again.

Frankly, I’m free of you. I will always care about you, but this relationship must stop dawdling. It’s over. I can’t see you…”
“Babe, I’m losin’ ya…” and his cell went dead.
