Hand Holding
A friend of ours has separated from her husband - he left her for a former secretary - and was worried she wouldn’t meet anyone new. I had told her if she wasn’t looking she’d find someone new … and she has.
So a group of us went out for dinner recently. Everyone noticed that our friend and her new guy were holding hands as we walked into the restaurant and that continued with them holding hands over the table too between courses.
One of our other friends commented that you could tell the married couples from the new relationship. That of course reminded me that when Angela and I are out and about we do exactly the same; funny how I don’t feel the same inclination with Carolyn.
Another of our friends is six months pregnant and she commented that she and her husband had made love that morning, although not a usual thing. Another friend commented that that was out of order for a married couple and Carolyn mentioned a colleague of hers who has to have sex twice a day or she is irritable: “every man’s dream”, she said.
I just sat there silently thinking of how Angela and I have sex four of five times a day for hours on end when we’re together.
The evening ended with everyone heading home. Carolyn was drunk and spent the night being sick whilst I slept and wished Angela was with me instead.
One day…
