’ Luke pulled into the diner parking lot and drove to the back, where they’d left Lise’s car the night before, and braked the police car to a st...p. He turned in the seat so he was facing Lise. All of the communication and emergency equipment arrayed in the front of the police car was stacked up in the middle of the car, between him and his passenger. ‘Be nice to take her out in a civilian car,’ he thought. Then he saw the figure running across the parking lot toward them. ‘Oh, God!’ he thought.. Sophie and I had been married for about 5 years, as far as I knew, she never suspected that I liked to dress up in women's' clothes.For a number of years I had been buying boots, skirts, underwear and other clothes secretly on eBay and hiding them in the shed. Whenever she went away I would get out my little selection of clothes and spend most of the time she was away dressed up and made up.At about 09:30, once I was sure she would not suddenly return having forgotten something, I went out to. I asked how her family was doing and her expression changed and not for the better. She said her dad had died about 10 years ago, heart attack, and her mom was not doing well. The sibs were all well except for Marilyn. She was killed in a car crash 7 months ago. She said that was what finally drove her to leave her husband. Marilyn had always told her life was too short to be stuck in a bad marriage, and after she died, Carol finally knew she was right. I told her I was sorry and didn't mean. We eased out of the slip, pulled in the lines and quietly motored out of harbor. As soon as we were around the breakwater we hauled up the mainsail and let the gyb run free until it caught the wind. We adjusted the sails like we had practiced, shut off the engine and listened to the quiet of the boat as she cut through the swells gently rocking us. I had the first watch along with Jessica. We watched the stars go by and discussed what we expected the next couple of weeks.She said she really.
