我们到第六个发球区时,我仿佛又再度陷入了爱河。我觉得自己就像是一位正陪伴着白马王子的新娘,而此时正努力追赶白色小球的丈夫也突然变得是那么迷人。
当我们到达第七个发球区时,我感到他看我的时间还胜于球,“眼睛看着球。”我嗔怪他。
“不,我喜欢看着你。”他回答。
那一刻他决定和我一起坐球车,这回他也不介意我把车开得飞快了。到达第八个发球区时,我们的手已经握在了一起。他握着我的手是因为一时害怕还是他喜欢这么做,我不得而知。不管怎样,我都喜欢他握着我的手。我们已经好久没有手握手了。
第九洞,是最后一个洞,也是最棒的一洞。下车之前,他竟然倾身过来吻我。“你能来我真高兴,”他说,“我非常开心。”
“下星期我们还来,好吗?”我问,然后我们都笑了。
“好啊,下次我们要打十八洞。”他肯定地说。他用力将球击了出去,球飞进了树林里。然后我们哈哈大笑着去找打丢的球。
这次,我没有任何怨言,丈夫很开心,我很喜欢他的陪伴。高尔夫成了我们共处的一个不错的借口。
我们不仅找到了丢失的球,也找到了彼此的那份爱。
至 爱
Moments of Love

When I first saw her, she was walking across the med-school quad. I stood motionless as if stunned, following her with my eyes. She is the one, I said to myself.
It was the first day of school. When I asked a classmate about her, he told me to forget it. She has a boyfriend, he said.
A few months later I heard she'd ended her relationship. But I waited at least half a year to ask for a date. When I telephoned her dormitory and asked nervously for her, I transposed the syllables of her first and last names into ludicrous garble. "Dinner on Saturday?" I proposed, embarrassed and expecting rejection. "I would enjoy that," she answered, sounding pleased.
