After class, he approaches me and asks me how I got so good at gymnastics. I told him I used to train at another gym. He then asked if I wanted any ex...ra help after class. I had noticed how strong he was when helping us, and I was starting to get a little bit attracted to him. So I said yes. We worked on round off backflips, because my round off was a bit sloppy. As he was spotting me, his hand kept ‘accidentally’ brushing against my tits. He then asked me for help on his back bend. As I was. He had been born on the Fourth of July and had always said the fireworks displays were in his honor. That Fourth of July they were. He had died on his seventy fourth birthday, right after the fireworks show that night. Rosa had been in bed with him when he died. Rosa died in her sleep a week after Angus’ eightieth birthday party. She was seventy-eight. All knew she was close to death so no one was shocked by her demise. But when a well beloved figure at the center of a small town dies it. Although Birgit was a little tired I convinced her to wake up and get ready for our date. It took us 16 minutes to get to Pamela’s hotel and we texted her and waiting for her after which she replied: “I’ll be right there”. Oh, how excited we were as this was an entirely new situation for both of us and I don’t know exactly how Birgit felt but I was very nervous. After a moment, we both noticed a woman walking towards us and understood it was her. We said hello and started walking towards her. Waking near sunrise, she had padded out in her pajamas onto the patio to sip her coffee, knowing full well that another long and brutal Wisconsin winter was behind her. The song of robins serenaded her from the treetops, while the ears of her three cats, who had followed her out into the morning air, pricked with rapt attention. The season of rebirth had finally arrived. It was nothing less than baptism by sunshine. She found it fascinating to note how much joy one could discover in the simple.
