They were together again. Standing close, one stealing breath from the other. A casual trailing of hand over arm, a look from slanted green eyes to the other’s sculptured mouth. A scuffle, ostensibly to remove a wallet from an inside pocket, but hands linger, stroking.
They stagger off the ride, leaning dizzily on each other, still flying high with love and laughter.
Watch. Wait. Choose the perfect moment to bring them down, so the memory of pitying rejection will be cauterised by the miser’s joy of close-held secret satisfaction. No more loving.
“Having fun, lads?” Lying lips, a traitor’s smile.
