Chapter Twenty

North Carolina

Irma rarely if ever put Jerry down. When Garrick took him to breakfast, that was one of the few times she did so. She always felt better when he was close against her. She played with the child’s curly locks as he slumbered in her arms.

“Just like Saul’s,” Irma said as she, Lil and Steve sat around the kitchen table. “Our daughter didn’t have curly hair. Had permanents been popular then, I would have had her get one.”

Lil smiled. “How did you guys meet?”

“We lived in different neighborhoods. Saul’s dad was a bookkeeper at the market where my father was a butcher. We were invited to Saul’s Bar Mitzvah. Oh,” she grabbed her chest, “I was a young teenage girl and it was love at first sight. Saul was handsome. He looked like a young Tom Jones.”

Lil, knitting her brow, said “Even Tom Jones is a little old for your generation.”

“Nah, my mother made me think he was a new rock star.” Irma smiled. “Anyhow, there was Saul, long curly hair, so dark and dashing. He was a little husky back then, but I knew. I knew that one day he was going to be my husband; and I remember waiting all night for him to ask me to dance.”

Lil asked. “Did he?”

“No.” Irma shook her head. “But he was the first boy I dated when I was fifteen. We’ve been together ever since. He is the love of my life. Just as handsome and sexy to me today as he was at his Bar Mitzvah.” She quickly looked up when Steve laughed. “And that’s funny?”

“I wouldn’t classify Saul as sexy.” Steve said.

Lil reached over playfully smacking Steve. “That is not cool. Women see sexy as different things.”

Irma nodded. "And I have seen your husband. Very handsome.”

“Thank you.”

Steve asked. “You guys have been together for a while. I remember my brother was there when you two eloped.”

Lil nodded. “Eight years.”

Irma asked. “A good marriage?”

Lil’s head dropped. “It was. I screwed it up. Jack … Jack was away and that is no excuse but I was unfaithful. And that’s why Jack went to Peru. To get away from me. I wish we had a better parting.”

Irma reached out grabbing Lil’s hand. “Your husband loves you very much. I am sure he knows you are sorry and I am even more certain of that; after all that has happened , he has forgiven you.”

Lil reached over gripping Irma’s hand. “I just miss him so much.”

“I know, honey, I know. I miss my Saul. But we will all see each other very soon. I am sure.”

“She’s right,” Steve said as he stood. “Both of your husbands worry about you guys. I’m envious. I wish I had that. One day… If all the women aren’t all the walking dead…perhaps.”

Irma just shook her head. “Where are you going?”

“I wanna check outside and have a smoke before we hunker down for the night.”

“Be careful.”

“I will.” Steve nodded. “I’ll be back.” He grabbed his half pack of cigarettes from the counter along with his lighter and flashlight, and walked outside.
