The Black Boa
Part Three:


Phil beamed even more, “That fits. A beautiful little star.” Phil gently placed her hand into his own and they traveled as such for the remainder of the night. She walked with him, she talked with him, and before the dawn broke upon the stars, she loved him.
Phil had stopped. Stella looked up at him and realized with horror they were standing if front of her house. She gazed at him pleadingly, begging him not to make her go home. Phil looked at her thoughtfully, still smiling gently, “Strange, I wouldn’t think you would like it like this…it’s quite a change from what you’re used to.”
Stella stared at him. How had he known…? But, before she could reply anything he continued, “You must go home now and rest. However, if you want to see me again, you know what to do.” The boa fell off Stella’s shoulder into her palm. She clutched it instinctively.
Phil stroked his hand gently on her cheek. “I have to go now, but don’t fret, change isn’t really all that bad.” He ruffled her short black curls that spilled out from under her hat. Like a dawn breeze, he kissed her cream toned skin, now streaked with tears. With his tiger beside him, he walked down the streets to where the street lamps rushed to follow.
Stella walked into her house, past the living room, and up into the attic. She stared at the trunk. It smiled upon as though knowing what it had accomplished. Stella breathed heavily; she knew what she had to do. Slowly, sadly she took off the beautiful fabrics and placed them into the trunk. A single tear glided down her cheek as she got up to leave. She heard Moonlights guttural growl and clutched the boa still draped across her shoulders.
It was as though she was saying goodbye to an old friend, when she replaced the black boa. She shut the lid, fastened the lock, turned around, and bent down to stroke her persian.
Stella heard the car horn outside and a rap on the door. And for the first time in a long time she genuinely smiled. She now knew that change was not as bad as she once thought it to be. It could be beautiful, infact it could lead to a grand adventure.
Stella raced Moonlight down the attic steps leaving the trunk alone. And so it continues to sit, alone and unopened, waiting for that one day when someone ventures forth and is swept away into an amazing adventure.
