Cold Feet
Hand hovering over the door handle, you want to go in but debate the outcome.
You’ve come here for the prize… for something that will change your life.
“Go on!” your head tells you. “It’s what you want.” But your heart tells you things are fine as they are.
Either way you have to go in, go through with it or say something, say you can’t and want everything to stay as they are.
So you open the door and your boss is there, smiling, so you smile back and feel better, your heart overtaking your head, then you see your colleague, Sarah, in tears and as you approach, she says the words you wanted to say.
“I’m sorry, I can’t go through with it… I can’t marry you.”
And as you leave the registry office you straighten your back, and do a little skip.
