Mike Berger, Ph.D.
I sailed to England to settle an uncle’s afairs.
We met in the ship’s dining room. It was sparks
and lightning from the moment our eyes met.
I stood transfixed I couldn’t move or speak. Her
wry smile said more than a thousand words. We
danced. Thus began a torrid shipboard romance.
We didn’t spend much time in the dining room
or on the deck. She was a passionate lover. It
was hell when the ship docked. I saw a tear in
her eye and she gave me a lingering goodbye
kiss.
After I had taken care of my business, I eagerly
found her address. I knocked on the door of her flat.
My heart felt when she answered the door. Gone
were her smile and the glow in her eyes. I felt
sick as I stood there and agonized. Her face was
cold as our eyes met.
“I’m here”, I said passionately. She dropped her
head and looked through her eyebrows and said,
“Sir, we haven’t been properly introduced as yet.”
