It was a wonderful afternoon, one I won’t ever forget.’ Becky looked at him and replied, ‘I meant it, too. You don’t know how I’ve hungered ...or you since I first laid eyes on you. ‘ Then she smiled and said ‘And, I hope you have a few more memories to take away with you.’ As he got the picnic basket out of the back seat, they started walking toward the door. Alan returned her smile. He quickly pulled her behind a large honeysuckle bush and drew her in close for a kiss. ‘I was hoping it wouldn’t. "We've got three hours. I need a nap, so call for me at five, Jack." Consider it done, Gloria."With another smile, I stepped into my room and closed the door.
