The complex puzzle of my mind, body, spirit and heart seemed to settle with that very important notion and I could feel calm finally winding its way t...rough all of me. Perhaps it was true what Ben had said, that all relationships started out shaky, with a need to define the rules and set the boundaries. I really didn’t have enough experience to know what that would actually mean even in a ‘normal’ situation, but I guess time would tell. With a small smile I thought about the way our. I was wearing a strapless black sheath dress, slit way high up my right thigh, and black heels. Mom even suggested I wear stockings and not pantyhose, which I had never done before. I tried them on, and I liked how they felt and looked, but the slit in the dress was too high up my leg; the top of my stockings was visible. I wore sheer black pantyhose instead. Mom wore a strapless top that was kind of a triangle of gauzy and sheer lace; it went over her boobs and tied behind her back, leaving. “It’s just that a mother loves to look after her son. Now, i’ll try not to be late. I hate having to go out like this but I need to update some figures for the marketing proposal tomorrow.””Ah! Don’t bore me with your work Mom, I understand… Just go. Go and finish what you have to do. I’ll be fine.”Dan walked his mother to the car and watched her drive away. Susan glanced into the rear view mirror and smiled as her son waved at her. She raised her hand out of the window as she sped off. Dan was. “My trust ... and something else.”A light gasp passed from Heather’s mouth involuntarily. Her eyes welled up again as she realized what he was saying.“That’s not fair! I’ve been waiting a year!!! We talked about a life together! And now you’re back and you’ve fallen for some ... WITCH?!?”“I’m sorry, Heather. As sorry as I can be to someone I don’t even know.”Her expression turned bitter. Those last words seemed to cut the hardest. The truth often does.“No! I’m not listening to this” Heather.
