Brown hair Quote by Kristin Rae
““The weekend arrives and I’m on edge, especially working at the trattoria. I’m hyper-aware of everyone around me, twitching at the sight of every youngish-looking guy with a full head of brown hair. The super curly heads are even fewer and farther between, but sightings of those nearly spark heart attacks. Only as the sun sets Sunday night do I let myself truly mope. I know they just started at a new dig site in Tuscany, and I can’t expect Darren to come to Cinque Terre every weekend, but it still stings. I could smack myself on the head for not making sure we had a way to get in touch with each other. Forget about waiting for him to ask me, that’s crap. I can be a take-control girl when I want to be, can’t I? I’m desperate to see his smile, and not just because it’s his, but because moods are in major need of brightening around here.””
