Blood Wedding
“. .”
The woman in grey is standing next to her, nervously clutching a small handbag. She gives the ghost of a smile. Sophie is not even surprised.
She looks at her for a moment “It’s alright,” she says. “Forget it. We all have bad days.”
“I’m so sorry,” the woman says again.
“It’s not your fault. Forget it.”
But still the woman stands there awkwardly. Sophie studies her for the first time. She is not really ugly, just sad. About thirty, a long face, fine features, keen eyes.
“Is there anything ...I can do?”
“Get my suitcase back! That would be a start, get me my suitcase back.” Then Sophie stands up and pats the woman’s arm. “I’m just a little angry. Don’t worry about it. But now I have to go.”
“Did you have anything valuable?”
Sophie turns.
“In the suitcase, I mean, did you have any valuable things?”
“Valuable enough to want to take them with me.”
“What are you going to do?”
Good question. Anyone else would say: I’m going to go home.MoreLess
