After All These Years

It seemed so strange to see her again, after all these years. I couldn't tell if she was looking any older. I just saw that it was her, and that was enough. It was as if the intervening years had never happened. We smiled; said hello, and then went to bed just as easily and simply as we always had done, all those years ago.

Afterwards she said she was married now, with children. We lay in bed together that afternoon, showing each other photographs of our families, each other's children.
