I’ve been single for years; my wife and I just didn’t work out in the end. As time passed and I grew older, I noticed something missing in my life. For so long my life revolved around my children but the wee little ones are already grown and have started families of their own. These days my life consisted of watching the telly and spending my days at the pub, drinking pints of Guinness. It was a good life but it wasn’t enough; there was something missing.
Perfect Companion
It wasn’t love at first sight; I was too old for that nonsense but I do admit there was a growing attraction after every little date we went on. There was so much passion in Claire; it was in the way she talked, the way she walked and the way she smiled.
Slowly but surely we started to spend more time together. It was little things, such as a dinner out, slow leisure strolls or visits to some place or another, but no matter what we ended up doing, we always talked a lot, or we could literally talk about nothing and still be entertained by each other. We would talk for hours; sometimes we even fell asleep, curled up on the couch talking. It was during this time that it dawned on me that Claire was the perfect companion for me and it has nothing to do with her delicious cooking either. For so long I’ve been alone and now I have someone to share my life with; it’s like a new start.
