Mom, you remember what you said to me back in high school when I had broken up with Debbie; you said when I met the right girl for me I'd know. Katie ...s the right girl."A similar conversation was happening at Katie's house."You're not pregnant are you?"Katie knew why her mother was concerned; she had once asked about her mom about her father. In response, Margaret had shown her a copy of her birth certificate pointing to the line where her father's name would have been."I'm not proud of that,. Even thinking about our first meeting was enough to have my stomach muscles clenching and my blood pumping a little faster than normal. I would loved to have said that his warm laughing brown eyes were the first thing that peaked my interest, but I would have been lying, or maybe the way his faded, ragged-looking jeans hugged his long powerful thighs but that too would have been a lie. It wasn’t even the way his teeth bit down on his bottom lip as he looked uncertainly at me for the first time.. I adjusted the knobs, finding the right temperature between scalding hot and arctic chill only after tweaking the handle back and forth compulsively.I undid my robe, looking at my lily-white skin in the mirror, thinking about tying up my dark hair before deciding I would just give everything a thorough wash.I wondered if a tan like Rachel's would even take on my skin...And with the thoughts of her breasts, the image of them peeking out from the side of the chair fresh in my mind, I slid down. The Lord has promised good to me.His word my hope secures.He will my shield and portion be,As long as life endures.Yea, when this fleshand heart shall fail,And mortal life shall cease,I shall possess within the veil,A life of joy and peace.Yes, when this fleshand heart shall fail,And mortal life shall cease;I shall profess, within the veil,A life of joy and peace.When we have been thereten thousand yearsBright shining as the sun.We have no less daysto sing God’s praiseThan when we have first.
