Like I Love You

Time passed like the world rushing by outside the commuter train Dana took twice a week into Queens for grad school.She got into the program she wanted,and though she hated the commute at first,by the end of the first semester,she looked forward to the downtime spent speeding between her apartment and campus.Time off from her job at the bookstore,when she could focus on coursework and her reading,just as Bethany had predicted.


The only thing she still hated about the long hours away from Manhattan was the time spent away from her lover.


That first date never really had to materialize into another;neither of them had to ask the other out again because from then on,everything they did was done together.There was never a question of,“Do you want to be my girlfriend?”or“Are we dating now?”Instead,when Bethany invited Dana to a work function,she was introduced not as“my roommate”or“my friend”but“my partner.”
