One Kiss

 

Carla?  Carla Vanderholt?  I guess it’s not Vanderholt anymore.  Hi.  Remember me?  I’m Robert Throckmorton.  I used to go by Bob.  Bobby?  We made out once.  Remember?  It was in Davey Martin’s basement.  You were visiting your cousin, Cindy.  Remember?  It was June 4, 1972.  We were playing Truth or Dare, and they dared you to kiss me.  And you did.  But then you had to leave.  And you went back home.  And then your dad got relocated and you had to move.  I’ve been trying to find you ever since.  I know it was only one kiss, but it was more than that.  I felt something.  I think you did too.  Can I come in?

"No, dude.  You ain't no serial killer.  Four only makes you seriously deranged.  Five, maybe."
