Well, after a lot of Sandy's looking after me, my neck and leg healed up. After a lot of therapy, I could walk almost as good as before. The Captain was right though. The review board declined to put me back on duty. I filed for medical retirement that summer.
I had to do something or I knew I'd go nuts, so I started working with a private investigator in the area. A couple of years later, I got tired of working for someone else. After scouting around, we moved to Indianapolis, and I started my own investigative office.
Sandy stayed by my side through all the healing and therapy, and through the period when I wasn't working. As soon as I started at the PI firm, I asked her to marry me. The wedding was in October, almost a year after I'd picked her up on Hayworth. I took a lot of ribbing about robbing the cradle from the guys at the station, but I knew they were all a little jealous. They gave us a set of pots and pans because I'd told them about Sandy's cooking.
Little Jeanne Elizabeth was born a year later and Tommy Martin two years after that. Jeanne will graduate this year and is headed off to college to study music. Tommy decided he liked cooking when he was ten, and he wants to be a chef. Sandy and I are proud of them both. Neither one is around the house much anymore. They have their circle of friends and only come home to eat and sleep. That leaves Sandy and me alone again after all these years.
She's in the kitchen now, putting the icing on a cake for Tommy's birthday party tomorrow. She'll join me a bit later and we'll probably end up in bed making love. Since the kids were old enough to know about sex, we've had a code we use. I'll ask her if she's going to spend the night, and she'll ask me if I have fifty dollars.

texloo4 months agoThis was a sweet love story. I do wish we learned about what Sandy did over the years, besides being a mother. Even if she decided to be a stay at home mom, and played her guitar at coffee shops, the reader should be told.
roverone4 months agoPredictable but still liked it a lot-great characters, loved she had a muffin...
Anonymous6 months agoVery nice. You created real characters, and they told your story. Real emotions, real situations, and true humanity shown by both of your leading characters. Well done!
redbaron1726 months agoAwesome story and very true in that most police can see what he saw, someone on the down and out, rock bottom.... been there. Keep up the good work!!! This one should win an award.
Shadowfight896 months agoI'm going to be honest here. Your writing brought tears to my eyes, great job. I just got done reading part of someone else stuff on here that had me very disappointed and angry. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you so much.
DSolomonD7 months agoIt ended the way I knew it should as soon as the old copper took Sandy to his house rather than the station. Just like we know how the lemon meringue pie should taste after a steak and potato meal at a diner. It was served just right -- just like Betty or Mable -- would have served it, on their last shift, with a button or two on their blouse unbuttoned and a hopeful smile on their face.
5*
Fandeboris7 months agoIt was a turn-a-round with the cop having a heart of gold. It would have been nice to find out about Sandy's singing career, but it looked like she put that on the back burner for being a wife and mother.
Overall a very good story, but the ending was a bit rushed. Maybe you run out of steam?
Take Care
Anonymous7 months agoKinda knew how this white knight damsel in distress piece would go. But sweet Hallmark holiday fluff.
Anonymous7 months agoCharming, Story. Engaging, sweet, and erotic when they finally got together. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed; they finally have sex, and everything just wrapped up and ended. Because of the detail and level of character development, it would have been nice to have the relationship evolve a little more; tying in the singing, more sexual exploration, etc.
52casper7 months agoThis would make a great movie ! Not quite Hallmark, but definitely a cable ready!
FraterXD7 months agoI love sweet stories, especially around yearends. My personal appetite is 'erotica should be sweet' though I read infidelity or horror themed ones here and enjoy them. I wrote several drafts but when I read them again I feel they are too serious and heavy so I'm thinking of removing sex scene from them, rewrite and submitting them to serious literature magazine or some place.
In my humble opinion, I can say something like 'story progress was a bit fast' or 'not enough sex scene'. I partially agree with other critics here on like 'her music career'.
Anyway I love sweet story. So my point is 5. It was a great read. Happy thanksgiving.
