Music thumps from the speakers in front of the field stage as a bluegrass
band plays Foggy Mountain. The composition is a slower version of the
normally fast rhythm song with banjos and fiddles. Usually, I love this song
and I love the way the local band plays it, but right now, it’s so loud that my
blood vibrates in my veins. I seem to be the only one bothered by it, though.
Everyone else in town is dancing and laughing. I should be more like them,
fun and free of complicated emotions that only lead to headaches and
drama. At least that’s what I imagine as I stare at my sanity role model,
Mrs. Robinson.
She’s an older woman with long silver hair and pretty blue eyes. Her
outfits range from 1960s skirt suits to 1970s hippy with flowy tops and big,
chucky jewelry. Tonight, she’s wearing a thin floral dress that peeks beneath
her mod coat. Her life has been spent in Rugged Mountain and everyone
knows everything about her like the local legend she is. Her home stands
out as the last original house on the east side of Main, her sons always back
to help keep it standing, and her loving husband who can’t seem to keep his
hands off her after forty years, always by her side.
Her head leans back and her eyes close as he dips her on the dance
floor, then leans down to whisper something in her ear.
My heart tightens. Ugh. That’s what I want. A love where stolen
whispers are still a thing after forty years.
I bite the inside of my cheek and make my way toward Ian, who’s bent
over the outdoor bar chatting up some girl I’ve never seen before. His
blonde hair is twisted and messy and his t-shirt is stained from the mustard
dip that didn’t make his mouth. In his hand, the sixth or seventh bottle of
IPA I’ve seen him with tonight. I’m getting the vibe that he will never be
the Mr. Robinson I’m looking for, but he might be for the girl he’s
whispering to.
