Pink Rubberband

{March 18, 2011}

We left quickly.  There was nothing left to see or do.  And we were on our way to the countryside.  It was time for a break from the city – it was all just a little too much.  I glanced down at my watch to see what time it was and there was Kate’s pink ponytail holder, wrapped around my wrist.  Oh no!  We forgot to put this back in her hair!  I thought about turning around to return it, but we were already 20 minutes away.  I had contraband on my person, but what could I do?  I decided it would stay permanently on my wrist until we return to Kate.  Something to connect me to her during our separation.
