Among the orchids

New York City NY

Description

We first met eyes across the orchids, you in your yellow raincoat, and I in my green. Then twice again among the cacti. A happy thrill ran through me each time. You were entertaining two guests, so I couldn't contrive a way to approach you then and there. I went off and found a pen to write down my name and number on an entrance slip, but by the time I'd returned with it, the conservatory guard said you were already gone.
