I Promised To My Wife And Children (II)...

Looks like Mimi joined my gym. I was on the mat doing sit ups when she walked by. First thing I thought was, man, that looks like an older version of Mimi, only it wasn't, it was her. When did she get so old? She looks like she's 48, and she's 33. I'm not just being a bitter ex here, I'm past that, I was honestly shocked. Then I remembered that when I first met her, I had commented to Casey how she was hot, but kind of older and wrinkly. Sun damage, you know. I guess, over time, I forgot about that as I feel for her. Funny how that happens. I guess it's good that I can see that again now-- not under the spell anymore.

At any rate, she caught me staring as I was trying to figure out if it was her, but said nothing. She just walked on by, continuing the conversation with the woman she was with. Not a big deal, I guess. It's a small town and I could run into her anywhere. It's not like the gym is some kind of second home to me. Oh, wait... Well, at least I didn't see her in some embarrassing situation, like two weeks after I got hammered and called her for the first time in 2 years... wait... no... I did that too. Hid my caller ID though. Even after 3 double bourbons I'm not that dumb.
