Ron came home with a bag of cassettes from Tower Records. “I start a cool-looking guy in the store,” he said. “I asked him to tell me what I should buy.” I didn’t give a second’s consideration to the guy in the store. I heard “Presents.” Upstairs at Eric’s by Yaz. Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. Avalon by Roxy Music.
As he walked to the stereo with one of the cassettes, I saw Ron silhouetted in our expansive view of Lake Michigan. It was magic hour, the time of day I’d learned about in film school when the light glowed mushy and romantic at dusk. As Roxy Music’s saxophone echoed off the linoleum, I watched him from my end of the sofa: sculpted face, plump dark hair with an early shock of silver. I even loved his feet. Yet I couldn’t reach over and tap them as tenderly as I wanted to carry out. We were just roommates, his invitation to linger just helping out a friend from church.

And I'm not sure what happened to me- one afternoon we were friends and the next day I had this crush. I guess I'm just A) Embarrassed because this seems somehow fundamentally embarrassing—I hold only told my brother about this and, I estimate, now you and the internet B) Bummed because I don't have crushes very often and how unfair is it that the one I do now have is on someone to whom it is completely irrelevant and C) Sad because I care about him more than anyone and
