Chapter 10: A Happy Ending
I don't think I need to tell you all that Shel e-mailed and then called her airline and resigned, quit, whatever, the next day. I was a one person party to a fabulous fashion show that night and fireworks did go off, but I think they were in our hearts and our minds. Yes, we were compatible; yes, we had sex, we fucked, but we mostly made tender, sweet love to each other. I think I was bone dry by the time Sam and the kids returned. I know I couldn't have gotten it up, no matter who showed up naked and wanted sex. I think Shel felt the same way. We slept together that night and really slept. I think I had the first really good night's sleep I have had since that night so long ago.
The next day, I called Bob and said that I was going to leave the state agency. I told him I would return in three weeks and to put me down for vacation for the whole time. I explained that I met someone and that we were getting married when we returned home. He told me to remember to invite him and his wife to the wedding. I told him I would. I then called Kevin and told him the news. I hoped that he and Gloria could handle everything since I would be gone from now on. He and Gloria told me to have fun in my life again; they could handle everything as I had taught them well.
