“Well, thank you kind sir,” Wilma said, taking his hand. “You are quite a gentleman,” she said as she slid off the stool and fell against Ches...er’s chest. “Opps! Sorry about that,” she said, stepping back and smoothing Chester’s red vest. “That’s such a nice vest you have there, Charles.”“Thanks, Wilma,” he said, as he put his hand in his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. He threw thirty dollars down next to his glass and saluted the bartender. He realized he only had five dollars left and. The most important thing that I did was to make a rule for myself, "I was to find a way each day to say, 'I love you." I opened an account with the local florist. This allowed me to call while out of town and she would receive flowers from me. There was seldom a reason for the flowers, except that I loved her. Often, her gift was just a single rose.I did other things like that. Some of them cost a little money and some cost nothing at all. I started running a bubble bath for her in the evening.. She adjusted my tie, patted my arm, smiled and said, "You're almost as good looking as your daughter." That was an exaggeration of course – nobody could match Amy on that day - but people are so kind!I remember that I stepped around the corner of the Dean's house, laid one hand on the garden gate and caught sight of Amy seated in her mother's old wedding gown on the stone bench under the vine laden arbor. Maggie was adjusting the bridal veil and Amy was dreamily staring off in the distance,. I hope you will be rewarded for your time and trouble. To understand the story, you need to read the Prologue first. So, look it up under my name in the Author Index before proceeding with this Chapter. All of the major characters are completely fictional and bear no resemblance to actual people, living or dead. Incidentally, Literotica calls the Prologue, Chapter 1. So, Chapter 18 you see here will be listed as Chapter 19. etc. Chapter 18 Sally and Sue woke up about seven-thirty. After.
