When I got back to the table, the dessert had just arrived. I told her that I had a surprise waiting for her in our room upstairs but she’d have to ...ait to find out what it was. We finished our desserts then quickly headed toward the elevator with anticipation. I was anxious to see the look on her face, and she was anxious to see what her surprise was.When I opened the door I told her to leave the lights off as I took my shoes off near the door.

I'll admit that I was the youngest child of a youngest child so Willow and Erica were almost seventy when I was born.

Even though she was old.
