A love story
A Bunch Of Violets
by Heather Knight
Lisa and Josh had been married for thirty years and even though they still loved each other, all the oomph was gone from their marriage.
She knew everything about him and he finished her sentences for her.
Lisa wasn't happy. When she went for a walk, she looked at young couples enviously, trying to remember what it was like.
Josh was distant, always working and she suspected him of having an affair.
And then something happened. Something that brought back her smile.
She started receiving love letters. And from time to time she got a bunch of her favourite flowers. How could her secret lover know she liked violets?
Lisa didn't overthink. She just enjoyed her newfound happiness.
When Josh came back from work at night, he watched the transformation and smiled to himself. He never said anything. He knew what it was all about... he had sent the letters himself. Maybe he'd tell her one day... but not just yet.
