“I’d never think you were crazy,” he muttered,
cracking his jaw. Alex had never seen
him do this before and she found it a bit odd.
“Mort, I just…I need some time.”
“Time?” he asked softly.
“I swear, Mort, it’s just so I can…” “It’s not like there’s anyone else or anything…I just need…we’ve
been getting so serious about each other and I’m just feeling overwhelmed.”
“Oh>“Oh.”
“Not a bad…I’m…I wish I could explain this better.”
“It’s O.K.,” Mort said. “If you need time, I’ll give it to you.” He looked down for a moment. “Did I do something wrong?”
“No,” Alex said, getting up from her chair. She circled to his side of the table and put
her hand on his cheek. “I don’t want to
hurt you, I swear it. I’m just…I’m
freaking myself out a little bit and I just need time to sort through
everything. Does that make sense?”
Mort forced a smile, despite the fact that his heart
was shattering. “It does. You’ve been through a lot…”
“But so have you.”
“You have a daughter to worry about too – I just
have me.” God…I don’t want to loose
you…I can’t loose you…
Give her what she needs – she’s already made
it clear that she still loves you.
She keeps him away from me…she makes me happy….
It’s going to be all right.
Alex let tears fall from her eyes. “Mort, I love you – I wouldn’t say it is I
didn’t mean it.”
“I know, Alex.
I love…I love you, too.”
“I’ll call you in a few days, O.K.?”
“Yeah…O.K.”
Mort got up and walked to Julia’s highchair. In a very low voice he whispered, “I love you too,
sweetheart.” Julia pulled at his glasses
one last time and he smiled at her. He
made his way to the front door, Alex following him. “If there was someone else…”
Almost sobbing, Alex hugged the now vulnerable man
in front of her. “I would never ever do
that to you.” She kissed his
cheek. “Do you hate me for this?”
Mort gently pushed Alex back; she saw the tears
forming in his eyes. “Not in the slightest...but
please believe me when I tell you that my heart isn’t mine anymore.”
“Neither is mine.”
That’s what scares me. “I’ll
call you, I promise.”
“I believe you.”
He kissed her, then opened the door.
“Goodbye, Alex.”
“Bye…” She
broke down as she closed the door.
