You had met them that night, at the party. They were fun to be around, and they certainly seemed interested in you. Their eyes seemed to hold your attention, and they were so attentive to what you had to say. So, you had both snuck off to a side room later in the evening.
And you talked. And talked, and then you began to listen. Listen to their voice, so wonderfully melodic. The way their thumb rubbed gentle circles on the back of your hand was a little distracting. You were having trouble fitting sentences together.
And then it happened. You said the same words, at the same time. Both of you paused, smiling slightly. You broke the silence. “Well, great minds-”
“Don’t think.” They interrupted. “Great minds just sink.” And you were dropping.
As they repeated it. “Great minds don’t think. Great minds just sink.” You could feel your thoughts unravelling, as your body relaxed into trance. They kept on going, and when you next came up, those words were the only ones in your head. Great minds don’t think. Great minds just sink.
