You are the Belle of the Ball

Husbands and Housewives of all shapes and sizes make ther way into the community center.

You curtsy to each man who greats you and Luke and he permits you a kiss with each housewife.

These are the first women you’ve kissed since your wife died. You had forgotten what it felt like, the differences from kissing a man. The gentle nature of each of thier touch.

Soon you and Luke were dancing the night away. You felt so safe, so loved, in his strong embrace.

“I was offered a job.” Luke said as you two walked home.

“That’s wonderful, dear husband.” You say.

“I’ll be joining the security staff here. No long commute. And I can come home for lunch.”

You smile as you grip his arm tighter.

He looks at you and smiles.

Everything you two had been through together before the last few days was pushed aside.
