Skin of a killer #2

I first saw him on a cruise liner. The Ocean Star was traveling from America to Europe, Asia, and then back.

I was alone, on a tour to travel the world, eat good food, meet new people and forget myself for a while.

We locked eyes in Greece.

We locked lips in Portugal.

We exchanged numbers in Turkey.

He was a handsome, bespectacled IT specialist from Philly. He reminded me, faintly of Matt Damon in The Talented Mr.Ripley.

Only later would I realize how apt that reminder would be.
