Their mom had a big breakfast waiting for everyone and they dug in, making quick work of it.Just before 9:00, the group hit the road in four cars so e...ch family would have a car available when they wanted to go somewhere. Matt’s sisters planned to spend one day in San Francisco with their husbands. Brian and Charlie wanted to spend a day deep sea fishing. Matt’s girls wanted to visit the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz; Denise had recommended it.The Boardwalk is a small amusement park with lots of. All I wanted to do at this point was get home and unwind, grab a beer and watch some TV. I knew that an apology to Jan was probably in order, and I gave some thought to stopping to pick up some flowers on the way home, a kind of peace offering to my beautiful wife. But, for the moment, I was stuck staring out through the windshield, watching the mass of humanity trying to get out of the sweltering city as quickly as possible.I was pretty much lost in thought, and feeling sorry for myself, when. She was more used to the grating sounds of dance music and hip hop blasting out of the kitchen these days.The sound of her name being called softly startled her once again. Her eyes opened in surprise when she realised a man was standing in front of her. She wondered if she was still dreaming and quickly blinked a couple of times. But the man was still there when she looked again."Shall we dance my dear?" he asked with a smile, his hand held out in invitation.Eleanor wanted to speak, but her. Next afternoon she messaged me to pick her up at 7. I reached home by 4 and started preparing for the date.I went to the market picked up few candles, bottle of wine, wine glasses and a bouquet of 101 red roses for her and I came back and emptied my drawing room placed a table in between with 2 chairs and candles and red roses on the table and all over the room.I got dressed up, wore a t-shirt, jeans, boots and an expensive brown jacket that she gifted me. Applied hair gel and left for her.
