Deep in thought
Selecting a new book
Bumping into someone
As I turned the corner
A complete surprise
An old friend and neighbor
Browsing the bookstore
In another aisle
"Can I buy you
A cup of coffee?
Let's catch up
On old times"
"Your Divorced?
Me too
How long?"
Do you feel as lonely
As I do at times?
"Are you free for dinner?
Please don't say no
Will you give me your address?
Wonderful, I'll pick you up
At 7:00 P.M. on the dot!"
Dinner, wine and soft music
Wonderful, lively conversation
Dancing in his arms didn't feel
As foreign as I thought it would
An awkward pause at
My front door...
As he took my key
And slowly unlocked the door,
Never tearing his eyes
Away from my surprised gaze
"Can I come in for coffee?
We still have so much
Catching up to do
I won't stay long, I promise"
To be continued.....

Joy,A cliffhanger! Now I won't sleep a wink until Part 2. "Marriage loomed only as an outgrowth of happenstance; you met a person" and what will be the outcome? In frenzied anticipation, Just Jim
