�I missed you girl.�
�You too D.�
�We have a lot to talk about.�
�Of course.�  He smiled and soon, we were loading the boat.  We watched the boat leave dock and Howie grabbed my hand.  We walked to the top part, away from everyone.
�Jennifer?�
�Yes D.�
�The last letter I wrote you, I explained how I was falling in love with you.  I don�t feel any different.�  I bit my lip and looked at him.
�Neither do I.�
�I�ve been dying to ask you this for so long.  Would you be�I mean�.I want you as my girlfriend.�
�And I would be a fool to say no.�  He pulled me in an embrace and softly, gently, his lips pressed against mine.  A rush washed over my body and my mind centered only on him.  We pulled away and just hugged one another, both content.
�Excuse me you two, it�s late, and I�m hungry.�  I turned around and smiled at Theresa.
�You broke the spell.�
�So?�  I laughed and we walked down to the dinning room.

�Is that it Grandma?� Dwayne asked.
�Oh, sweetie, there�s much more,� I said.
�I want to hear more.�
�Pollyanna, we just feel in love. Tomorrow night, I promise, I explain how he proposed, our wedding and our kids, your parents.�
�Is Uncle AJ and Auntie Theresa happy?� she asked.
�Of course.  If they only stopped having kids.�  I laughed and tucked them into bed.  I gave them a kiss and watched as they dozed off.  I felt a hand on my waist and turned around.  �Hey sweetie.�
�Hi.�  He gave me a hug and we walked into the living room.  Long after our marriage, our kids were born, and we got old, we settled in.  We loved just being with one another, watching TV, a movie, listening to music, whatever it may be.  But, we were always holding hands.  Maybe love does come only once.  But whatever the case, I knew I had my soul mate.
