Wow. This is definitely a top ten story of me. Nothing as good as happy life being found after terrible grief
Not one for reading others comments, so, my only gripe and I am sure someone has highlighted the section, you call Callie, Cassie. All to aware there is no way to edit once published a shame as this is superbly told.
The dialogue between Callie and David absolutely makes this for me, you had me laughing out loud in places with the laconic interplay between them, although I confess I laughed hardest at the idea of someone getting miffed that they’d been pushed down the ranking in the Penny Advertiser by a car accident, you are a sharp observer of small town life @davidwatts. Many many thanks for writing and posting this story, best wishes, Ppfzz.
to the anon wondering who Callie was having sex with since her husband died. why do you assume she was having sex with anyone? She loved her husband and many people don't go humping just anybody after their love passes away. Callie was that kind. I would have answered you directly but since you were an anon...
I only have one question. Since Callie loves having sex and her husband died 7 years ago, who was Callie fucking daily prior to David showing up?
What a sweet story. Honestly, it was one of those feel good stories you like to get lost in. Well, at least I do. Look forward to reading more of your stories.
You're a wordsmith and you weave a beautiful tale. In my minds eye, I could see the story unfold, watch them grow, and fall in love. Thank you.
OC usually complains about a story being too predictable. Well, this one was as predictable as any and yet OC lets it slide.
DW, you should be honored to has been granted a 5* from OC. They are rarely handed out.
I, on the other hand, cannot give anything more than a 4*. My biggest complaint is that there is no reason for her to fall for this smart ass city man. One evening on a porch with a guitar just isn’t enough to make it believable.
Like many stories on Literotica, this one requires a temporary suspension of disbelief, but , hey, it was great ; I'd almost be willing to write my lovely old ute off for an experience like that....took me a while to work out what frost heaves might be though.
My first time reading this even though it’s been here for a few years. Don’t know how I missed it for so long. This is a wonderful story, touching in so many ways. Thanks go to the author for sharing. Definitely a Five Star effort.
Such a loving tale.
Looking forward to reading more of your work
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
A romantic fantasy that might just come true!
Makes you want to take a fast drive down a narrow lane!
A good plot, good characters, good dialog, some romance and that key ingredient: believable fantasy. I'm not sure how a city boy can acclimate himself to life on a farm. Is it enough to be with someone you love and are very comfortable with? He's 50 and she's 45; a reasonable match-up, but they face aging in a tough physical world where you have to do the chores every day. Can they make it financially? Probably not a big deal, but he's going to need some of the modern conveniences he's used to. Great sex goes just so far. Personal compatibility is great, but most of the day is spent within yourself and you have to have what makes you tick and it's not clear that a community of 150 people without some of the electronic life we're all used to is going to make it for the next 30 years. Maybe peace of mind will overcome all that. I hope so because they seem to fit so well. And it makes a great story. 5*
I only wish the ending had been fleshed out more. To me the ending seemed a little bit rushed, maybe a little incomplete. Still a very good story, and thanks to the author for sharing it.
Just found this again. Couldn't remember the name until something triggered the idea of frost heaving. What a great romance.
A good story, very well told.
I think you got into the feeling of the pair and the result was 'genuine'.
Thank You

I wish I had the guts to do this. Just chuck it all, and lose myself in a woman like David did.
Wonderful history. It seems to lie what love can get, a city man becomes a farmer for the love of a real woman. I loved the story and hope to read more of yours stories.
5* for you.
I apologize for my English (yet), is not my native language.
Bravo! Beautifully thought and written. It was a pleasure reading this gem.
I spent some time on a farm like that at a place called Ferns Corner in Oregon. My uncle had a farm we were logging a few acre, baling, combining, and drying prunes for the neighbors. It's 12hrs between milkings plus feeding and clean up and cows do not take off sat and sun. What an education, I came home and worked 30yrs in aerospace, designed some parts that landed on the moon. Biked from San Francisco to LA, canoed 250 in Canada, had 300 colonies of bees. What a life. Huckleberry.
we should all be so lucky.
I am glad I found this story.
Excellent writing excellent character development. If I could give you one piece of advice it would be to check that you keep the character names consistsant. Everything else was a joy to read. Keep it up!
This is the first of your stories I have read, so I'm not sure if the idiolect of this story is yours or your characters', but I just loved the way you expressed yourself, the voice of your main character, his sensibility, his way of seeing things.
It was just right. Everything about it: the characters, the plot, the descriptions, the sexy parts, the feelings.
Some novelist once said that the job of a writer is to entice the reader to give up an hour or so of his time just to read a story that is intended to entertain him, and at the end the reader should believe that he received sufficient entertainment to make it worth the time he had spent. I consider this story well worth the time it took. Thank you for writing it and sharing it with me.
Very good. I got a little confused for a sec.when callie became cassie, excellent bravo great story writing, flow was spot on!
You got the essence of loneliness EXACTLY.
The constant fight to pay the bills....'nuff said.
Keep writing - thanks for the story !!
What a wonderful story. I loved it. Simplicity often makes a better life. I have had complex and I have had simple and I will take simple any day. Thanks author. Jim
to ambush184...the title refers to bumps in the road that are caused by water freezing in the roadbed and causing the surface to heave
A story like this makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. And maybe a little jealous :)
Great characters you can relate to, not some super hero SEAL with mad karate skills, or a playboy model type chick. Excellent believable story that could possibly happen. I actually grew up in that town, different name and different state but same town. Thanks for the story, hope to read more.
Don't know where the title came from, but who cares. I enjoyed the story
I knew I would like it, did not know it would make me cry. Thank you it was just what I needed.

tender, romantic, and loving. You've captured the heartache of divorce and loneliness for two people who've just now met by accident. Likewise, you captured their growing friendship and love. I like the way you painted the characters so realistically and how their affection for one another finally brings them together in the end. One of the best stories I've read on Literotica. I really enjoyed it.
Gentle, compassionate, caring, humorous, true to life, really believable people,setting, & way of life,and finely crafted sex scene, with love as well as lust. And so, so much more. You are a master craftsman.
You nailed the feelings of lonelyness, (for both people). I suspect you have been there yourself, or you are a master of observation. Your narration of the devestation following a death of one partner, (through death or divorce), after a long relationship; is spot on. Wealth is hollow & meaningless over time. Love and a loving partner exceeds it by miles. I suspect that many readers empathise with Callie & her beau. So many of us have undergone their agony & torment. Hopefully, all have met or will meet a "Callie" & will recover their joy and purpose in life. Thank you yet again, for another surpurb submission. I hope to see many more. Dan.
A very good example of a good story told plus lively erotics manifested. LITEROTICA
Thanks David. It was a very cool and lovely piece of imagination, and so near what is real. I wish you all luck on your continuous writing.. cheers yoron.
This is my first time to read your work and I was surprised to actually find I enjoyed it! I know. That sounds kinda horrible. But, in a land where it's mostly about getting to the nitty gritty asap, it truly was an unexpected pleasure to read something with real flavor and texture. With real people in what could be real situations! I loved that your leading lady in this story had a farmer's tan and pit hair! WONDERFUL! I'm very much hoping this wasn't a one-shot-johnny kind of story writing for you, because I'm headed into the archives to read more of your works.
Thanks for the entertainment. ;-)

This was an amazing story, the story line was great and the characters were awesome I completely enjoyed it!!
I have to say that story was quite amazing. You painted a really good scene and feelings. You definitely deserved to win. Congrats!
I enjoyed your story and the flavours of rural life in the U.S. A sweetly written story. Frost Heaves what a great title.
I really enjoyed this story. The characters seemed to come alive as I read it and the sex scenes were written to perfection.
One of those stories that made me happy. Congrats on winning. You deserved it.
To everyone that stopped by to read my story, and a special thank you for those who took the time to vote or leave a comment behind. These stories are all labors of love, and I am very happy that so many of you found my story enjoyable.
I love the way you tell a story. Puts me right in the leading ladies boots, feeling every emotion and kiss, and hearing every creak on that old farmhouse bed. I especially loved the bath scene. That was hot.
David, you know I am your biggest fan!! Don't you?
Kisses from the hairygal and a fellow Mets fan!!
David,
This is truly a great story. Nice humor touches, enough sex to be satisfying, and a sweet ending. I've not read your other works yet, but am looking forward to doing so.
Almost missed this, that would have been a shame. What a suprise,and a pleasure to read this. You have a lot of talent,thank you for sharing it.
I've just read this story for the second time. Later, I'll probably end up reading it again. When I do, I suspect that my reaction will be the same as it was the first two times. I'll laugh, relate to many facets of the male character, and my eyes will water up more than once. This story is your best, and I've read most of your work. It was a long story that was an easy read that I wished was longer. This works on every level I can think of, and I thank you for sharing it.
So sweet and romantic. I love love stories from the male point of view. You have a new fan.
Well written. Nothing wrong with the telling of this story. I would like to see more. Keep writing.
Thank you for writing this story, being an old romantic this story was just right! Carry on writing.
i loved this story. it has a perfect balance of lust and emmotion. more???
This is a classic, your all time best. It made me smile and it made me horny and it made me wish that it were 50 pages long instead of 5. Thank you David.
