As I drove another 10-penny nail into the 2-by-4, the glint of sunlight off a car windshield caught my eye. It was unbearably hot, and still not 10 a.m.
In awe, I watched as she walked to the site, my mind obviously playing tricks on me.
There she was, the woman I had loved for 20 years, the woman I had searched for on thousands of streets in hundreds of towns.The woman whose face had seen me thought countless nights of horror in a faraway land. The woman whose grandmother's engagement ring still rested on a chain around my neck. The woman I hadn't seen in almost 14 years.
She stopped and talked to some of the workers. Smiling as she gestured to the framing that soon would be a small hospital on the outskirts of this small Latin American town.
As soon as she smiled, I knew it really was her. I had to talk to her.
"Maria?" I asked, as calmly as I could.
She looked at me in confusion.
"Maria Gonsalves?" I tried again.
"Yes, I am," she replied, still unsure.
"DOCTOR Maria Gonsalves?"
"Um, yes," she said, her eyes looking hard at my face.
"I knew you'd succeed. I knew you would reach your dreams," I told her, beaming with pride.
Maria just looked away.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" she asked finally.
"Um, no. No, I guess not," I told her, my smile fading as my heart broke with each word. "I used to see you around when you were at San Diego State."
"Oh, did we have classes together?" she replied. "What's your name?"
"Josh," I told her, with a wry grin. "No, we didn't have classes together. I used to see you around the library. You were always so driven to succeed. I learned a lot from just watching you. I guess I wanted to say thanks and congratulations. I should get back to work."
