In doing so, I accidently brush against his thigh. And that’s when I feel it. That same electrical sensation I got the first time I touched the spot—in my room, when I begged him to stay the night. The feeling radiates up my spine and gnaws at my nerves. It’s like something’s there, marked on his leg. I run my fingers over the spot—through the blanket—almost tempted to have a look. I close my eyes, trying to sense things the way he does—to get a mental picture from merely touching the area. But I can’t. And I don’t. Still, I have to know if I’m right. I peer over my shoulder toward the door, checking to see that no one’s looking in. And then I roll the covers down. Ben’s wearing a hospital gown. With trembling fingers, I pull the hem and see it right away: the image of a chameleon, tattooed on his upper thigh. It’s about four inches long, with green and yellow stripes. And its tail curls into the letter C. I feel my face furrow, wondering when he got the tattoo, and why he never told me. It wasn’t so long ago that I told him the story of my name—how my mother named me after a chameleon, because chameleons have keen survival instincts.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Laurie Faria Stolarz" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/laurie-faria-stolarz/i-sit-by-his-bed-and-pull-the-covers-over-him-in-doing-so-i/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1d1/laurie-faria-stolarz-10096_chameleon_i-sit-by-his-bed-and-pull-the-covers-ove_1627722.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1d1/laurie-faria-stolarz-10096_chameleon_i-sit-by-his-bed-and-pull-the-covers-ove_1627722.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1d1/laurie-faria-stolarz-10096_chameleon_i-sit-by-his-bed-and-pull-the-covers-ove_1627722.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I sit by his bed and pull the covers over him.

I try to tell him that, but he swats my words away with his hand and says he wants to show me something. “Sure,” I say, wondering if he’s really as nervous as he seems. He clenches his teeth and hesitates a couple of moments; the angles of his face seem to grow sharper. Finally, he motions to the pant leg of his jeans. There’s a tear right over his thigh. “I know you saw it in the hospital,” he says, exposing the chameleon tattoo through the torn fabric. “I felt you . . . looking at it. Anyway, I wanted you to know that I did this back home, before I ever came to Freetown. Before I ever met you.” “So it’s a coincidence?” His dark gray eyes swallow mine whole. “Do you honestly believe that?” “No,” I say, listening as he proceeds to tell me that a few months before he got to town, he touched his mother’s wedding band—something that reminded him of soul mates—and the image of a chameleon stuck inside his head. “I couldn’t get it out of my mind,” he explains. “It was almost like the image was welded to my brain, behind my eyes, haunting me even when I tried to sleep.” “And you got the tattoo because of that?” “Because I hoped its permanence might help me understand it more—might help me understand what it had to do with my own soul mate.” “And do you understand now?” I ask, swallowing hard. “Yeah.” He smiles. “I suppose I do.” I take a deep breath, trying to hold myself together, desperate to know what he’s truly trying to say here, and what I should say to him as well. I close my eyes, picturing that moment in the hospital when I held his hand and wondering if he would’ve recovered as quickly as if it hadn’t been for the connection between us—the electricity he must have sensed from my touch.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Laurie Faria Stolarz" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/laurie-faria-stolarz/i-shake-my-head-knowing-that-if-it-hadn-t-been-for-me-ben-wouldn-t/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5fe/laurie-faria-stolarz-10096_chameleon_i-shake-my-head-knowing-that-if-it-hadn_1719107.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5fe/laurie-faria-stolarz-10096_chameleon_i-shake-my-head-knowing-that-if-it-hadn_1719107.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5fe/laurie-faria-stolarz-10096_chameleon_i-shake-my-head-knowing-that-if-it-hadn_1719107.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“I shake my head, knowing that if it hadn’t been for me, Ben wouldn’t have been there in the first place.
