"Maybe."

There was a slight pause and then Andrea began to laugh. It was infectious. Brian joined her. They laughed until the tears were falling.

"What are we laughing about?" Brian finally managed to ask.

"You."

"I'm glad you find me so amusing."

Andrea held his hand. "Go get her, lad. She'll be good for you. Marie belongs in the past. Leave her there."

"It's Brian. I'll be in London on Tuesday and I've got two tickets for 'Sunday In the Park With George'. I'd love you to be my escort. If you're free that night meet me at the usual place."

He left the message on the machine having deliberately phoned when he knew that Christine would be at work. He was nervously waiting at the bar of the hotel when he saw her come in. She threaded her way between tables and chairs until she stood next to him.

"Mr. Warbrick?"

"Yes."

"I'm Christine. Your escort for tonight. At least, until midnight. After that..."

"Yes?"

"We'll have to negotiate a new price. But I warn you. I don't come cheap."

He took her into his arms.

"You're worth every penny," he murmured.

And they kissed.

Good story but the end was a little abrupt. I was hoping for a happily ever after. 5 stars

Smooth as a well aged wine.

Mr. Parkes

I apologize for my late arrival to your stories. I don't know who you are but you are truly a gifted writer. I am taken by your ability to tell a good story. This one, I confess, moved me a bit. I can relate to those feelings of loosing someone like that. I hope you have continued to write. Perhaps I'll come across your works somewhere else.

I salute you.

Still Great

I first read this story almost 10 years ago. I just happened upon it once again and renewed my pleasure by reading it again.

Very well done understated story of a peculiar relationship developing into something much more.

Sweet romance,and to my mind, erotic.

This is a lovely sweet, and at times funny, romance. It should be in the romance category. Non-erotic is defined as fiction without a sexual focus. This has a sexual focus, sexual tension is a key part of the story (e.g. will he ask me for sex, what will I do if he does?}, And we know what they will be doing after the theatre trip at the end of the story. True the story has no explicit sexual descriptions, but I don/t see that as necessary for the romance category. This story gives us believable characters, an interesting relationship and a fascinating situation. On the basis of that our imaginations can easily fill in the sex . A story doesn't actually have to describe the sex to be erotic

Good Storytelling

A non-erotic romance. Very well done. The dialogue was great. More stories like this one would be very welcome.
