Short Story #137: A Kiss in the Night by Lydie Lacaze
Title: A Kiss in the Night
Author: Lydie Lacaze
Summary

Reflection
It's a romantically sad tale that I liked in certain ways. Jeanine's perception of who he was initially contrasts with his inability to be what she wants him in the end, even though the former was due to circumstance and the latter by choice. I am also moved by stories in which the lovers are incapable of finding the right thing in the other and ultimately do not make it work. That may sound bad, but I feel there is something positive in Jeanine's decision to leave him behind and move forward--recognizing her worth.Short Story #137 out of 365
