A Walk in the Park

“Really that’s horrible.” I told him. “I tell you more when we get to the park.” My eyes lit up, the park! I tried to keep a straight face, but who knows what could happen at the park. It was so beautiful there. It was a big silence in the car till we got to the park. All I could I think about is where I was. With Jacob, I never thought I would be with him. I think that is really what I wanted all along. I just never saw it. We got to the park and strolled along and he told me everything, “Right when you left for Pete I completely broke down. I started to drink, I know I never told you but I was afraid of what you might do. One time the police brought me home and for my parents that was the last straw. They kicked me out and disinherited me. They were so embarrassed of what I did they refused to speak to me. That forced me to turn my life around and I have been drink free ever since.” “Wow, I am glade you finally told me, but no more secrets, OK?” “Yes, for sure.” I leaned in and kissed him passionately.
