Andrei left with her entourage at closing time. I quickly placed the crairs on the table and mopped the floor and called her. "Come on over," she said, "and bring some wine". I toted a couple of small champagne samplers and walked toward her apartment.
The lights of a church were on and I could hear singing as I approached it. It was Christmas eve. I went inside and stood at the rear of the church. The pews were completely filled out with families, couples both gay and straight. They held the small song book and sang "Oh Come all Ye Faithful". For a brief moment I forgot my lonliness and misery from breaking up with Jane and realized there was more to life than my little drama.
