parents.”
“Cool parents. How old are they?” “Cool parent’s is right. My dad is 60 and my mom 58 and they still ride together on my dad’s Honda Goldwing.
“If you don’t mind me asking, how long have they been married?”
“They’ve been together for over 40 years.”
“That is so beautiful to hear. Hoping that she’ll be able to say the same thing one day, Susan continued. “How do they keep the fire going in their relationship?”
“They love to read to one another, go for walks, pray for one another and are very social with the friendships they have. They’re always planning their next vacation. Going on cruises, golfing, you name it. They’re best friends.” Nick gets on his motorcycle saying, “They were meant for each other.”
“Sounds like they have a beautiful life together.”
Nick notices Susan admiring the bike. “Want to go for a ride?”
Desiring to ride with Nick, she’s about to say yes however her iPhone rings. She checks her caller ID but she doesn’t answer. “
“That’s Tom, my fiancé.” Wishing she could stay longer and take Nick up on his ride, she says, “I should get back to the station anyway. It was really good talking with you today. Enjoy the rest of your day.”
“It was good talking with you too. Have a good one.” Nick watches Susan walk away to get into her shiny red Chevy Cruze. Wishing she’ll turn around to take another glance at him, she unlocks the car with her remote, grabs the door handle to her car and turns to wave at Nick as she enters.
Happy that his wish came true, he thought, “I really wished she would’ve gotten on the bike for a ride.” He looks at his wedding band and realizes that his heart has opened up to the reality that he must let go of his old life with Amy in order to have a fresh start. He takes off his ring, puts his helmet on and rides off to see Amy.
Chapter 15
While at a traffic light heading back to the office, Susan returns Tom’s call. Tom answers with a serious tone, “Where are you? I called your office and cellphone and got your voicemail.”
Susan answered calmly, “I’m in my car heading back to the office and you don’t sound like your usual self. What’s wrong?”
“This Maxwell account is taking forever to close and tomorrow I have to fly to Boston to smooth out some concerns that the corporate office is having. I basically have to do some hand holding to get this deal done and my boss doesn’t want me to handle this via a conference call but in person.”
“I’m sorry to hear things aren’t going smoothly on this deal Tom. How about we discuss it over dinner tonight?
“I really need this deal to happen and soon so my commission can pay for the whole wedding and the honeymoon?”
“Really I didn’t know that. Honey, I don’t want you to be stressed out. If we have to scale down or postpone the wedding to a later date, I’m fine with that.”
“But I’m not fine with that.”
“Ok, then let’s discuss it tonight over dinner and I’m sure we’ll be able to work things out.”
“I’m sorry Susan but I won’t be able to make it. I’ll be working late tonight.”
“You’ve got to eat at some point?”
“Listen, I’m being called into a meeting right now. If things open up, I’ll call you, otherwise I’ll call you from Boston.”
“Ok fine.” Feeling very uncomfortable about Tom’s job demands, she begins to wonder if this is a glance of how her life will be with him. “We definitely have to talk when he gets back from Boston.” Susan thought.

From the soup kitchen, Nick rode to the cemetery to visit Amy’s grave. Crossing his legs, he sat down in front of her tombstone. “Sorry it’s been a while since I came and visited. Truth is I didn’t want to because I wasn’t brave enough. I’ve missed you so much. Took me a while to figure it
