Today was my birthday and my night was off to a great start. The train home was on time. I got a seat, my favorite seat, in the corner by the door of the first carriage. And my brilliant, gorgeous wife had been dropping hints all week about her plans for me tonight. Something about "my wildest dreams."
As usual, I scanned the crowded compartment for anyone with a stronger claim to my seat. That was when I saw them, shining like a beacon through the thicket of legs between us: the almond toes of her boots.
The soaring arch told me all I needed to know. Under that long skirt was a heel at least four inches tall, maybe five.
I loved my wife. I loved her smile, her laugh, her adventurous, generous, indomitable spirit. Her drive to get shit done, no matter how many asses she had to kick or how many names she had to take.
She was the perfect girl for me, in every way but one: she lived in sneakers. Dressy was a pair of flat Mary-Janes. Tonight, she'd be in chunky three-inch wedges, her annual concession to my fetish. The other 364 days, the rule was
look, don't touch
.
So it was with a clear conscience that I peeked over the top of my phone at those glorious boots.
As the crowd trickled out, I started to catch glimpses of their owner. A plain but well-fitted wool coat hinted at a trim waist. A tight braid restrained her long, jet-black hair. Most strikingly, an N95 and big sunglasses concealed her face. There weren't many of us still masking.
She crossed her ankles, tucking her feet demurely under her seat. Her skirt rode up just enough to confirm my guess: boots, at least ankle-high, with a five-inch stiletto heel.
My charade with the phone forgotten, I stared. How often do you see shoes like that on the train home?
Rarely. I would know.
