The Yankee Club
“To me we weren’t in some hospital bed. We were holding each other in our comfy Queens apartment, and I’d never left.We gazed at each other like we always had, as if I never forced the issue about marriage and children. Her soft face and supple lips were inches from mine. I kissed her.Laura welcomed the embrace then gently pushed me away. With a wistful expression, she sat on the edge of the bed and stared into the distance. The last two years had happened. I had forced the issue. I’d left. Laur...a was engaged to another man, and I had no one to blame but myself.The cop rose from his chair outside the room. He closed the door and left us alone. Apparently he’d been in love before.At least Laura had come alone. Maybe we could talk about things the way we should have before I left. Besides, I didn’t feel up to meeting the man who’d stolen her heart.She touched the bandage on my forehead.
