The wind is blowing and the air is cold, snow dances around in the sky’s ballroom ….I had just gotten done poking the fire once more before retiring to rest. Zeus stood, stretched, yawned, and shook; another quiet Christmas Eve.
Then there was a knock at the front door. Zeus took off barking and I followed clenching my terry cloth robe around my bare body. I flipped on the front porch lite and peered through the sidelight, only to see a stranger, covered in snow staring down at his feet.
I called out “what do you want?”
And he answered, “To use your phone! My car has broken down and I need some help.”
I looked at Zeus and poised the question to him, “well….what do you think?”
I opened the door slightly. There you stood, a tall, handsome man on my front porch.
“May I borrow your phone, please?”
I saw you look at my hands tightly holding my robe about me.
“Wait there, I will get it” but before I could shut the door he replied…
”It is cold, windy and snowing…may I step inside?”
My heart raced and I felt my body becoming warm. Huh, what is this all about? Again I checked with Zeus and he looked more then prepared to guard me.
“Just for a minute, while I get the phone.” I said while opening the door.
Now Zeus kept the stranger at bay to the point that the stranger had backed into the corner. I returned with the phone. He made his call; a tow truck on the way. He was watching me and taking me in ~ so was I doing the same to him. What a stunning Man! So handsome, so attractive, so familiar…..why do I feel I know him; I thought almost out loud.
“You feel the same thing?” he asked which startled me.
“I know you, do I not?” He pressed on.
“I don’t think so, but you do seem very familiar. Kinda a dej’ue feeling.”
I smiled a silly grin, as I did not know what else to do.
“The Triple A tow truck will be here in about 20/30 minuets. You think you can pull your dog of me?”
“Well, maybe…I am alone here and need to be protected and he is perfect for the job.”
You looked into my eyes and I could sense you, I could tell that I knew you, from where I did not know…but I was sure.
“Zeus, oie day.” And the shepherd came and sat by me.
“Would you like a cup of tea or perhaps something else? The fire is burning out in the other room, but you are welcomed to come and sit and warm yourself.”
He moved with authority and an appointed posture….I was mesmerized, not only by his physique but the strong sense of knowing him... As I handed him the cup of tea he touched my hand and it was if fairies danced up my arm!
“Where are you from?” I questioned.
“England.” I took your short reply as a stand back to Zeus putting you in a corner.
“Where are you going?” I thought I would try one more time.
“Into my past.” He answered.
OK, I thought ~ exocentric! Let him go……but we got to talking, yet Zeus sat guard at my side not taking his eyes off of the stranger. We were talking for a while and then the tow truck driver rang the bell.
“Triple A here….you got a problem?” the driver asked as I held back Zeus at the door, still clenching my robe.
The stranger said “thank you….great dog! You are more then safe with him around.”
He started down the porch steps and then turned around.
“I am sure I know you and positive we will meet again. Merry Christmas!”
The stranger left with Triple A and his auto and I sat alone by the dwindling fire with Zeus by my side. “Ya know Pup; I think I just met my soul mate….. How did I leave him go?”
My heart heavy and empty. I rubbed Zeus and wiped the tears from my eyes and went off to bed.
