The number wasn’t in my contacts, but I recognized it all the same. “Hey, do you remember our debate about The Kiss?” she asked.
We’d been in love once, but never in agreement—especially about art. “So, you called after 20 years just to restart an argument?”
“No, I wondered if your opinion regarding Brancusi’s Kiss had softened.”
“It hasn’t—Brancusi’s Kiss lacks passion, while Rodin’s exudes sensuality.”
“Agree to disagree. But here’s a question: when we kissed, was it more Brancusi or Rodin?”
“Rodin, definitely!” I said.
“You see, we finally agree on something! So, are you free for lunch?”
Really good! Love it.
Thanks, Kerri.
Ha! Rodin every time. And don’t even bother with Klimt. Great story.
Agreed. The passion in Klimt looks too one sided as compared to Rodin.
“We’d been in love once, but never in agreement” – good line, and bound to push the buttons of memory for quite a few readers. Well written and charming piece.
Thank you for the kind words.
Good story. I like it. It takes Bud just a few lines to tell a whole story.
Thanks, Pablo.
Nice.
