The week before the trip, she asked her boss again about going and was declined. I was gutted. She said she would send a replacement colleague. On the...day of the trip, I was on the train to the airport when I got a text from my girl...I was dumped! Talk about fury! When I got to Inverness, I was in a foul mood. The guy we were seeing and the replacement were waiting for me.I new the guy well but had only met my girl’s replacement once...we were both having a ciggie outside of a meeting a few. Scanning up and down I could see she was not much of a looker but yet there was something intoxicatingly beautiful about this middle aged woman maybe in her early 40’s. One thing she had was a great pair of knockers and even though she wore a coat to protect her from the chills of the British winter; they were kind of prominent. Just couldn’t take my eyes off that for a hot minute when I realized this woman looking at me with a bit of interest and at the same time a confused look in her face. It doesn’t help that the handsy bastard was caught raping a 13-year-old girl and the partner sold his part of the business to finance the son’s defense. The new partner then sold his share to a big conglomerate. Sarah’s father was forced to sell to the same group and had to retire long before he wanted to. Never mind that he made more money from the sale that he can ever spend, it was like a child died.Well, the day just got immensely worse. The stove stopped working and when we called the. I finally talked him out of that, but I did agree that he deserved a second revolver. That seemed ta satisfy him fer the moment.I had been away from Austin long enough ta be homesick, so I suggested ta Sam that we head back that way. He was anxious ta meet the rest of his new family, an' we turned around ta git ta Austin as quickly as we could. It took us two weeks of steady ridin' ta get ta Alice an' Annie, an' I was right ready fer the reunion from the moment I thought of it.As expected, Sam.
