Sweetie, I’ll Be Back at 2 A.M.

Asian.” “I could say the same for you. Younger guy …” “Italian,” we said at the same time, laughing. I was 47. He was 29. “Shall we see what happens when two fantasies collide?” he asked, coaxing me with a kiss. When one date turned into too many to count, he told me, “Maybe now we know what happens when two fantasies come together. They become real.” — Ana P. Santos
