A Piece of Her

From the instant they sat down at her favorite diner in town for chocolate chip pancakes, that was it; she fell, hard and fast. They talked about everything, which was rare for both of them to open up, to anyone. Their most ridiculous fears, like his spiders and her zombies. Their dreams of what they wanted to be when they were little, his dream to be a cowboy. Their pipe dreams, her dream to become a writer. And their deepest, darkest secrets which they guarded very close to themselves. They made each other laugh, a lot. Almost too much sometimes that they’d have to catch their breath. And at night, being together was the rawest form of passion she had ever felt in her entire life.
