There was more dialog between everyone as I dug into my food with earnest. I found myself particularly hungry this morning and ended up asking for sec...onds, which I got. I also figured I couldn't talk if I had my mouth full. But once I was done eating, I found myself unable to get up from the table. The annoying grin on Trisha's face indicated I wasn't going to get off so easy. Finally I got tired of having the words forced out of my month and started talking on my own. Once I tried complaining. The events of the previous two days were heavy on her mind. Angry was the best way to describe her feelings. Angry at being assaulted. Angry at her reaction, especially her body's reaction to the assault. If some part of her liked it, was it really assault? What the hell was it? Damn at forty-five, she was really confused. She had no one to talk to. Not her husband who would only get mad. Not her girlfriends from back home who would never understand her mixed emotions. So in a nutshell, RuthAnn. Matalo thanu chabutu thana life gurinchi start aindi thana lonely life amei widowed since 13 years. I anukuna mausi chala akali tho undochu dengichkodaniki ani anukuna .

And then suddenly the words burst out of her so fast I had to ask her to repeat herself because I didn’t hear it. It just kinda sounded all jumbled.Sighing she took a deep breath…. “I want to make it offical”“Make what offical?” I asked“don’t freak out on me or anything… just think about it. But ummm….”she spoke very slowly and softly now. “I.. ummm.. I want…. I want to make love to you Tray, I have wanted to for years.”Hearing these words spun me so fast I felt like I was going to faint.“Fuck.
