High heels for Emily
Emily has so many great traits. Almost too many to mention. Without sounding too shallow, easily her natural beauty is something to behold. She has subtle beauty devoid of pretentiousness that lingers ever gently on my mind. She wears no makeup. Unpainted nails. A survivalist, she had unfortunately lost her job and now working night…

Practice, practice, practice
With the upcoming wedding, I started seeing Emily more. Of course we’d have to plan on her Sundays off from work since she worked night shifts. That would mean Saturday night she’d work and come home Sundays approximately at 6 am and she’d go on her routine of maintaining a sleep pattern. I had been…

Shopping for dresses
Luckily, Emily’s favorite sport is not shopping. How lucky can a man get? With the pending May 28 wedding approaching in a few weeks, we set a plan to shop for something for her to wear. I guess we’re both out of practice or we’re both from the school of “never wear black to a…

Wedding bells
I came to find out months later but May 16 was a red-letter day for me. For those who don’t know what a “red-letter day” is well perhaps google its meaning. It was on that day Emily felt I was a “pretty cool dude”. But I didn’t know it at the time. Still I felt…

What became of “Emily’s house”?
Cotton field in a rural area. A common source of summer work for low-income families back in the day. These “cotton rows” could stretch as far as 1/2-mile long one way. So just to take 1 turn you already walked mile. By day’s end it was not unusual to walk 10-11 miles in atrocious heat…

Margaritas on a Sunday
I had previously seen Emily on purpose on 11 April of this year on a Monday evening. I met her at an Italian restaurant. Then unexpectedly on the 16th due to tire issues and I drove her from her work to her home. We had kept in touch after that via calls and text. I…

I can be there
Inconvenience. We all go through ’em. It gets everyone more that we’d like. Early one bright morning just 5 days removed from our Monday dinner I was headed to Emily’s place of work. She had tire problems driving to work Friday evening as she reported to her night shift job. That particular Saturday I had…

Then I saw her face….
Credit writer Neil Diamond and sung by The Monkees 1966 Rainy evening in April. The 11th to be exact. I had just flown in late that afternoon from a business meeting in San Luis Potosí Mexico but was so looking forward to today. I met Emily for the first time. Not as an applicant. Not…

Out of the house but
….kept in touch anyway. I liked Emily. Always did. She came from a hard working background – most of it self-taught. Having moved away from home barely out of her teens, she knew how to rely on herself. And that’s not always easy. She moved out from my property late February 2022 with the exception…

So that’s why I didn’t hear from you
The last quarter of 2021 suddenly became difficult for Emily. Things had changed rapidly and left her under strenuous circumstances. Having a faucet replaced in one of the baths was not quite the priority anymore. Unexpectedly she lost employment. She had quickly and reluctantly dipped into her savings in order to pay rent while beginning…
