unexpected

i've been housesitting for a friend here in the small town where i lived before moving to the city.  i've been here for almost a week and the feelings that have surfaced are unexpected. very unexpected. i agreed to stay to take care of the house as well as two dogs, thinking that i would spend mostly nights, returning to the city during the day. i haven't. however today, i wanted to drive in to check on my little city place and pick up a few things.  i really wasn't thinking much, enjoying the company of the friend who came along for the drive, when we arrived out front in my usual parking spot. as i looked around, it felt strange, as though i had been gone for quite some time. i thought i would feel happy to be back but i felt differently. i sat in the car for a few minutes and tried to recognize those feelings. unexpected. hmmm, i'm still musing on those feelings, now several hours later. unexpected feelings for this city girl.
