Vote for Larry (2012)
“But everything had changed.
I don’t want you to think I reverted to some dopey guy following Beth around like a puppy. I was cool, gave her a boost up out of the hole after the rain stopped, waved goodbye with a smile.
You know when you finally do something you’ve been obsessed with for years, and somehow afterward it feels anticlimactic, not worthy of all the hype?
This wasn’t one of those times.
The term “slow-motion” doesn’t begin to describe the care I took in playing back my afternoon with... Beth. Her kissing my chest, my muddy hands pulling her toward me, the sky opening up and pouring down on us afterward.
It was messy.
It was beautiful.
It ruined my vision quest.
I went home and ate a three-egg omelet with half a jar of salsa, then took the longest, hottest shower of my life.
I had been happy with Janine—she was kind and gregarious and fun—but this was Beth. As for Simon? I didn’t care what Beth said about her commitment to him. His reign was over.
I wanted to play it cool,35 so I didn’t rush over to Beth’s.MoreLess
