I told him that the lawyer joining me was the executor of Frank and Mary's estate. Since he would want to know the circumstances of their death, I inv...ted him to join us in case he had questions, and so he could explain anything that I may not understand.The ADA nodded his head and told me that the reason he asked was he learned of an irregularity that affected the case that he needed to explain. He thought that I might have learned of it and asked William to be present for that reason. His. Most were supportive. What did surprise us though, was the obvious lesbian element. Oh, not placard-waving types trying to turn the event into a statement of some sort but genuine country fans who just happened to be lesbian and there were a lot of them.After the ceremony, I had vaguely been aware of a girl who a number of times seemed to be about to approach me. Each time though, I had been called to attend to something or other and I hadn't given it further thought.It was at the reception. But maybe she has a bad miscarriage and can't have any more. That could explain the breakdown of the marriage, but not his claim of her love for me. It could explain why she had not had any further children. That could be a possibility.There was a mercenary explanation: That she wants to swap the Deputy Head of Research for the Managing Director. Since we'd split up I had become quite well off. I was far from wealthy, but I had invested my half of the sale of our house well, I was paid very. As we lay together touching and caressing each other, I ask her if she received everything she wanted this year for Christmas. With a slow smile and a twinkle in her eye she told me there was one she hadn’t gotten yet. She wanted a son and I better try my best to give her one. Later that night as she lay curled up next to me I watched her sleeping. I could feel her warmth and softness beside me and feel the gentle beating of her heart. I listened to her breathe and saw the slight smile on her.
