Many days had past and Siegel still felt great, he was redeeming himself and getting more work done then he ever had. He went to pick up Sondra and Ethan for their dinner date, Siegel was tired and out of it, but hoped his guest didn't notice. After dinner Siegel sped home; faster then Sondra felt comfortable. Ethan went inside and Sondra was heart broke. "Over the phone you sounded like you cared about me. Joshua this isn't fair. You draw me to you then push me away." He grabbed Sondra's face and kissed her and kissed her. He retuned back to his home of the cafe everyone was glad to see him and noticed he was lacking his cane. Siegel liked the change.
"In chess we are perpetually the age we were when we first began playing."
Everyone wanted to play Siegel in chess now that he was back. He played Fen, one of his biggest components, and the ex professor of medieval philosophy john. Both men whipped him off the boards. He insisted on a rematch. Siegel was shaken from his sleep, had he dreamt this. Siegl was relying on his luck in this game, why was he loosing? Everyone was watching with intensity, even the waiters. He took a break in the bathroom and fell into a light sleep beside the urinal. WHat was his deal.
"For Christ sake don't revere me, I'm not worthy of you. You have lived, and I have not lived."
Siegel treated his opponents and cafe staff to drinks and sandwiches. He laughed at his loss and toast were made to Siegel and the new year. His opponent John objected to siegel driving home, although he looked steady holding his drink. The waiter Dmitri offered to drive Siegel home. DId people think he was drunk just because he loss a chess game? ridiculous. Siegel took a long stop at the river on his way home.
