..” I continued.Before I could finish, my mother-in-law placed one finger over her lips to ask me to be quiet for a brief moment.“I think I know w...hat you’re going to say Jeff. You think that perhaps you might be attracted to Jennifer, but you want to make sure that Dad and I are ok with it.” she replied. “Jeff, you were the most doting, caring, loving, thoughtful and considerate husband that we could have hoped Susan would marry. For the last six months of her life, you never left her side,. ”“Then have faith in Kate. Don’t give up.”“How’d you get so wise, Amanda?”“Loved and lost and loved again.”“Now?”“Karl and I aren’t that far. Maybe next year.”She lifted her lips and kissed me. It was soft and comfortable, open and accepting. It was a kiss that went on for a long time, but even though I stiffened, I still wasn’t inclined to move toward her. She’d become a real friend over the past two years and I was happy just to hold her. After while we drifted off to sleep, our lips still. After she became numb to the yuck factor and had only sensation to contend with, she had to admit to herself that under the right circumstances, under adult supervision, this might not be a bad way to die. Oddly, it was the tongue working in her mouth that she grew accustomed to first. When she found herself lifting her tongue so that he could get the underside too, she knew she was succumbing to something she hated.Her mother saw that in her face, and said, "Yeah, not bad is it? I picked that. ’ ‘Yes good thinking. I will ask her too.’ ‘Too?’ Jack sighed knowing this could get him into trouble. ‘To be honest I prefer to date you.’ ‘Why?’ ‘Oh god Renata, this is going to get me into trouble. It’s because I’m more attracted to you.’ ‘Why because I’m better looking and have a more womanly shaped body.’ ‘Yes.’ ‘And I have largish breasts?’ ‘Yes,’ Jack groaned. ‘Do you have to repeat this conversation to anyone?’ ‘No and I won’t. I ought to call you disgusting but actually I’m rather.
