No Echoes After Midnight
I had hosted a late-night radio show for ten years.
On the final call before the program went off the air, a male college student came on the line.
"Mr. Miles, hello. I am in a lot of pain. I fell in love with my college professor.
"She is married, but she treats me differently.
"When I get sick, she cooks for me. When I am upset, we chat late into the night. She even takes me out on trips to clear my head..."
After listening patiently, I spoke slowly and tried to counsel him.
"It is normal to develop admiration for someone excellent and older than you, but right now, the most important thing is finishing school.
"Actually, I once had a crush on a student teacher in high school. It was not until I met my wife that I understood what mature love really was. I hope you meet the right person one day too."
The boy laughed in a way I could not quite read.
"Well, good for you, Professor Cole's hubby."
