An excerpt from my book Red Jewel:
…As I said this Ruth turned toward me. Slowly, ever so slowly she moved
her head toward mine. Her arms came up and touched my shoulders. I
did not know what to think or do at that very moment. I followed her
lead. Our eyes met. She smiled aff ectionately at me, then, instinctively,
we embraced. We were drawn to one another, naturally. We kissed. A
sweet short kiss followed by a long, warm touch. It was wonderful. I was
becoming aroused.
“I will not be leaving you Ruth. Not ever. I will be back. I promise you.”
Saying nothing she smiled at me with her eyes, with her mouth and
with her expression. She stroked my facial features and my hair with her
soft hands.
“Promise me Nigel? Promise me again and again.”
“I promise Ruth.”
“I think I love you, Nigel. I do love you.”
She loves me? I thought. She loves me. What does that mean?
No response. I said nothing.
What a wonderful afternoon we spent together. Walking back to
Kingswear hand in hand: playful, laughing and boasting in jest, stopping
from time to time to embrace. Time…and the world around us stood
still. The walk to the lower Kingswear Dartmouth ferry melted away —
too quickly. As she boarded the ferry to Dartmouth, I stood there and
watched her go. In her giddy way she jumped up and down…for joy…as
she waved goodbye to me over and over again until she was out of sight.
For the first time in my life, I was extremely happy. Happy!
