"Sure, I had that with my wife when we met. She must have too, because a few months later, she told me she was sure I was her One. Ten months later we were married, and I never regretted it."
"Did you ever fight?"
"Oh Yeah. We had some real donny brooks but luckily we didn't both say divorce at the same time. The making up was just as intense as the fighting. After a few years, the fighting dropped way off, the love making became calmer. But still intense."
"Do you miss her?"
"Sure, but life goes on, and I still have the kids."
"Where are they?"
"He's in San Diego, she's in Denver. He's a corporate recruiter, she's a lawyer."
"Wow, pretty good."
"Yes, I'd like to think so. Hmph, look at the time, if your going to do this I should show you the apartment."
We strolled over to the barn, up the stairs. The apartment was really just one large room, with a separate half bath. When she saw there was no bath tub or shower a look of disappointment flicked over her face. Madge took a deep breathe, and said it would do.
I'm a softy when it comes to the women anyway, and this one was near my daughter's age, good looking too. There was no way I was going to deny her a hot bath or shower. So I suggested we get her stuff, then she could clean up at the house.
With a squeal, she jumped into my arms, declared she loved me, and planted a big kiss smack on my lips. I may have been surprised, but I wasn't about to turn that down! She stayed in my arms for several moments more, looking into my eyes, then broke into a big smile and said "Let's go get that stuff!"
We quickly hiked down to the camp site, Bogart running all over as he always does, Madge seemingly holding herself back from a full sprint, probably in deference to the old guy. When we got there, everything of hers was already packed, ready to go.
"Ahh, does Dave know your moving? Isn't he going to be pissed if you're not here?"
" He knows, and I don't care if he's happy or not. Right now there are only two things I care about - a hot bath, and a soft bed. After that, I'll worry about anything else."
With that we picked up her few things and headed back up the hill, but a whole lot slower than coming down. Except for the dog that is, who seemed to be going happily nuts over all the scents he picked up.
Once again we chatted as we walked. Or I should say she did. I just nodded, or threw in the odd word here and there, but she was happily talking, and I didn't mind as I was enjoying the sound of her voice. Suddenly she stopped, looked at me for about ten seconds, and out of the blue just asked me, " How do you know if you feel the tingle?"
All I could say without betraying the quiver in my throat was "You'll know."
Again, she just stood there looking at me then said, " I thought so."
Then she quickly turned and headed back up the hill. After about twenty feet, she turned to look at me, rooted to the ground in shock, and asked if I was coming with her or not.
All I could think of was, "Anywhere." Again she turned to look at me and I realized I had said that aloud. She gave me a quick smile, turned and strode off again. I couldn't help but notice how well the jeans fit her shapely butt.
When we got back to the house, she turned towards the barn, but I stopped, asking where she was going? She paused, and started to point at the barn apartment, when I shook my head and pointed to the house.
"I have four bedrooms, three unused, I'm sure we can find one for you."
"Really?"
"Yeah, come on, there's a bath waiting for you."
Well, she looked through the three bedrooms, picked the one she liked. I pointed out her bathroom, the hall closet full of towels, told her 'enjoy'.

An hour and a half later she finally reappeared. Her hair shone with red highlights, she had lightly applied makeup, she had on a clean pair of jeans and a light colored tee shirt. On her feet were a pair of sandals, her toe nails appeared to be freshly painted.
"Better?"
"You have no idea! Thank you, thank you, thank you. But what changed your mind about the barn?"
