"I will never hurt you," I said. "I promise. You are everything I could ever want."
And then she smiled her beautiful smile and for the first time we kissed, and I knew I would keep my word.

That New Year snow came from the North and the snow lay deep on the streets and drifted under the influence of a cold and bitter wind. For Alice and me it was the winter we found love, and forty years on we remain together and have raised two children. I have been faithful ever since I met Alice for the second time, and she never asked me about Mona or Valeria again.
Alice is the love of my life and my soulmate, but I still wonder what would have happened if either she or I had not attended either one of the Christmas parties, or if Alice had not arranged to sit next to me at the second. Would we have ever found each other? I asked Alice this question once and she told me that when she changed the seating plan "she was giving chance a little prod. Statisticians understand all about the vagaries of fate."
What she could never explain was why she wanted to sit next to me in the first place. Why would a shy, introverted, and distrustful virgin wish to spend an evening talking to a promiscuous extrovert like me?
Heaven only knows but thank goodness she did!

RABSTA4 months agoThis story was good for the first 2 pages. The third page was a repeat of part of the first page and I never did find the end. You need to take it down and reformat it!
mac1729over 1 year agoNice story of real life and how we meet the one we are fated to be with. I often wonder what if I made this choice or that career move would I have still met my wife? We have had 30 years together and still going strong.
Thanks for writing
BlissMaraover 1 year agoA fantastic conclusion to life's collisions of fate, and lust, and circumstance. All is experience, all is fate. A lovely, well-rounded story. 5* I so enjoyed this read!
Overcriticalover 1 year agoThe intent of the alternative plot lines was good, but the execution was terrible. I liked the story, but I don't know what we gained with the bouncing plots. I had a sneaky suspicion that Alice would end up being the focus of the love story, but it certainly was difficult to get to. 5*
