  ***

  With the closeness between Jennifer and David growing, they began running together again. Early mornings watching the sunrise together as they made there way around the streets of Owensboro; it was invigorating to them both.

  David often spoke about everyday things; the little things. Jennifer enjoyed this and she held up her end of the conversation as well. They both thought about how rare it must be in this busy, hustle and bustle, world to find someone with a similar interest such as running as well as similar conversational interests as well. To find someone that attracted you in body and mind was a blessing. David and Jennifer took things as slow as they could, but could not deny the attraction and the closeness that quickly came upon them. Why would they want to?

  Yes, romance was in the air; thick in the air. Often, seeing David and Jennifer come and go together reminded me of the courting period of Elizabeth and my relationship. The curiosity, the attraction, the new, the feelings, the quality time spent together, the hope for the future. It was very enjoyable for me to watch. In fact, it made me feel closer to Elizabeth. Seeing others partake a similar path as my wife and I, made me feel good about my life decisions; especially good about my life with Elizabeth and our future together. It was just a nice time at The Villa.
