After the Movies

After the Movies Valentine’s Day Night 1959 Curiously with a slant of his face my chin turned up and then the embrace. A teenaged kiss in in his best friend’s car while Johnny Mathis sang, “Chances Are” So close, so close as I nuzzled his cheek he whispered “I love you” can we do this next week? ©Kathryn McLoughlin Collins February 12, 2012

Congrats Kathryn on this nostalgic, romantic memory jarrer being featured.Two weeks after the plane crash but for a few more years, the music remained fabulous. My fav JM song was "The Twelfth of Never."
