I
like
the
way
he
tries
to
look
distracted
...as
if
wrapped
up
in
something
far
too
interesting
.
The
pull
of
his
lips
...tight
but
not
menacing...they
give
him
away
because
if
I
were
to
black
out
the
rest
of
his
face
I
would
guess
he
was
nervous
.
And
I'm
right
only
because
I'm
nervous
too
.
He
can't
see
me
,
he
won't
look
up
.
No
, he'd
never
do
that
.
But
that
doesn't
matter
.
It's
better
really
since
this
way
I
can
study
him
.
And
now
I
know
what
this
face
means
and
I'll
recognize
it
if
I
ever
see
it
again
.
This
is
how
he
waits
.
Waits
for
me
.
I
wonder
if
he
knows
that
he'll
be
waiting
a
long
time
.

all

he's
doing
the
waiting
now
