We all need our time in the sun.

It could be a private, stolen moment. Just enough time to do a little happy dance.

Time to be you, without anyone there to judge you, to make you worry about what you look like, what you are doing – or anything really.

Just a quiet little personal moment you can fill with your own squeal of happiness.

A little jump for joy.

A little victory.

A sigh of relief.

A moment.

In the sun.

That look you get when you know she is waiting for you to do something.

But you don’t know what it is.

She is expecting … something.  But what?

Is now the time to kiss her? Did she say something witty, and you didn’t catch it? Did you say something stupid and not realize it?

Hurry up!

That look only lasts a moment, then it’s gone forever.

That look can change everything, forever. And how you respond, or don’t, will decide how it changes.

Hurry up!

The problem is, we don’t all know how to do it.

Some of us learn very early, and very well, that there are consequences to be paid.

Some of these are obvious, and some are not.

Some you carry with you, some are put upon you by others.

Sometimes, when you want to be bad, you have to find someone who will let you. Someone who will help you. Someone who won’t hold it against you later.

Would you be that someone?

Is being that someone being bad, too?
