She stood and shoved her books
inside her backpack, then crumpled up the drawing she’d been working on so
diligently. She threw it in the trashcan, then darted out of the library.
He couldn’t stop himself…he
had to see it. He ambled toward the bin, his eyes darting around the library.
Not that it was illegal, but he didn’t want the librarians to see him fishing
through the garbage. He waited until all eyes were averted, then reached down so
quickly that probably no one would have seen him anyway.
He waited a few seconds to
make sure she’d pulled out of the parking lot, then walked outside and sat on a
bench. He unfolded the wadded up piece of paper, but then gasped at the image.
He’d hoped that when she occasionally
gazed up at the rooftops she was looking for him. And he’d been right. She was looking for him. Why else would she
have drawn this image? But…he’d also been wrong in thinking she couldn’t
identify him. She’d remembered every detail of his face, his hair, his eyes.
She knew him as intimately as he knew her. She’d only seen him twice, and both
times, she’d been under duress. And yet, she’d captured his image perfectly.
He released a long sigh. If
Michael ever saw this… If anyone ever saw this… As much as he didn’t want to
destroy the drawing, he walked to the librarian’s desk, knowing they had a
shredder. Without asking, he slipped the piece of paper he wished he could keep
into the blades.
He
whispered her name as the black and white image separated into thin white strips
and dropped into the wastebasket. He closed his eyes… I want you to see me. I wish I could let you see me. But not yet…maybe
someday.
