Of course, he was to be forgiven. He didn't drink coffee, didn't know the favored brand in the office, and so, had bought what his mother drank.The of...fice phones had gone on the blink. Something to do with a Taxi cab accident and a phone company distribution box a block away.Then the call from the local IRS office. They wanted to come in and look at the company books tomorrow. So he'd stayed an hour over, working at the computers to be sure the books were up to date and that everything was in. Inside were brand new work clothes, exactly like the ones that were ruined as well as sweats and a new bra and panties. You may leave at any time. He stated, turning away from me. Im not done making my decision yet. What? I thought you wanted to leave. It was just a simple question. Hope filled his eyes and tugged at my heart. If I stay, I will have to do to everything you say. Will I be able to discuss things with you without fear of punishment? If you say you want to discuss things, I will. I'm sorry this won't work, I hopedthat even if Debbie was gone you could still be a comforting reminderof her, but it's just too painful."She started to turn and leave, but before she left, I realized I neededsomething from her."Wait, Mrs. Kent. I need to ask you something." Yes?" she asked through watery eyes."You were taking such a risk why did you do it? And if it had worked,what if Debbie resented having part of someone else inside of her?" I just wanted what would be best for her, just. I told her i had to go as it was getting late and i had an early appointment in the morning... (the truth) .. still, i would have said it... even if it hadn't been the truth... i said goodnight to her... and as she typed... "hugs and kisses" on the screen, i melted and responded in kind...my appointment the next day was extremely successful... i sell real estate... yeah, it's an ugly job, lol, but, somebody's gotta do it... well, i had come a long way from "tract home" sales and their meager.
