Sometimes They Came Back

Markus Owned – And Was Duly Proud – Of A Well-Used But Still Fast And Flashy Porsche Sports Coupe. Was That Flashy Car One Of The Reasons That Young Pretty After Young Pretty Came Chasing After Him?. Only A Freshman In College Markus Had No Idea. . Women Were A Mystery To Be Sure. Albeit A Welcome Mystery. . Sometimes He Thought He’D Really Like To Find “The One.”. But What Was The Rush? . In The Meantime This Fledging Undergraduate Had Become A Collector. When One Of His Flames Dumped Him She Would Often Leave Behind A Bracelet An Earring Or Two A Scarf Or Some Other Personal Item. Markus Would Stash Away Any Such Item With Care. It Was A Way To Keep A Part Of Every One Of Those Lovers With Him. . Besides Sometimes They Came Back. . Markus Was A Dreamer. He Was Also An Incurable Romantic. . That’S Why He Stashed Away Every Little Item A Lost Partner Might Leave Behind. . Every One Of Those Cuties Was Special To Him. And Maybe – Just Maybe – One Of Those Special Cuties Would Come Back Someday Not To Claim Her Lost Item Or Two. . But To Claim Him. . If Only It Were That Simple. Love Never Is Of Course. Instead Markus Finally Had To Admit That His Heart Had Made A Claim Of Its Own.
