The Conductor's eyes looked like needles in a haystack. I realized just how handsome he is, cleanshaven and washed. His girlfriend looked mashed-together, harried, makeup with a spackle knife; she went onstage and the room echoed as she yelled out the words to her circus songs.

With my acid eyes I could see the Conductor's valiant efforts to Do The Right Thing, and I decided to do the same. I ignored him as much as possible, avoided him politely. I looked my boyfriend deep in the eyes and told him with my gaze, "you only you". The Conductor was drunk; the Conductor has the prettiest eyes; the Conductor walked away. I looked my boyfriend in the eyes.

And he said, "forever." Again and again, forever and forever. Pledged his forever to me. His eyes bulged and drooped and he said, "forever." He said, "will you at least consider it."

I said, "yes."
