“I know it’s a cliché, but I think we can become just good friends.”
“What, when I stop finding you hot and wanting to fuck you?”
I laugh. “When you put it like that…” On a more serious note, I ask, “When was the last time you had sex with someone else? Truth time.”
His face takes on a sober expression. “Last time I put my dick in another woman was a week before I met you, twenty years ago.”
I sigh. “That’s a long time.”
“Yeah. Mel, you’ve been the only woman in my life since I met you.”
“I’m sorry it didn’t work out.”
“Me too.”
I trace a finger along the golden hair on his arm. “In all that time, haven’t you been attracted to others and wondered what it would be like to have sex with them?”
He quirks a brow. “Mel, I’m an ordinary human, not a saint.”
“So, just think. Now that we’ve finally cut that cord, you’re free to explore those other possibilities. Act on any attraction that comes your way without any guilt.”
“I guess so. We’ll see.”
“So, Rivlor?”
“I meant what I said. We’re just friends.”
“Would you like it to be more?”
He exhales loudly. “Mel, I am not having this conversation with you. Don’t fob me off on others to make you feel better about dumping me.”
“Was that what I was doing? I’m sorry.”
He sighs. “I’m sorry too. Come here. Let me just hold you.”
I roll over into his arms. We stay like this a long time. “I’ll always love you, Wyatt.”
“I’ll always love you too.”

Next morning, I’m in the kitchen, sipping on some coffee, when Kiristen walks in. I smile at him. “Hey, how was it for you last night?”
“It was amazing. This Ricky Charles is incredibly talented. I feel honored to have been in the audience.”
“I’m glad.”
“Melinda, there is someone who wishes to speak with you.”
I put down my coffee cup and look at him enquiringly. “Who would that be?”
“My mother. She is sitting by the pool. I told her to wait there.”
“Why does she want to see me?”
“I will let her speak for herself, but please Melinda, will you give her a little of your time?”
“Sure.”
