It was the twenty-hour flight on which neither Gordon nor Melissa slept a wink, and the strong Greek coffee at the Athena Tavern they both chugged down at Melissa\u2019s request, and the long-seeming walk in the plish across Kelvingrove Park at Gordon\u2019s insistence that took them to the museum. A wayward cinder got into Melissa\u2019s contact lenses, and she was exhausted, and jittery from the caffeine, and excited to finally be meeting her lover\u2019s parents, and it was her first trip to Scotland. | Copyright 2017 by Nick Mamatas.
