My mothers best friend was having her retirement luncheon and my whole family was invited. It was at her old farm house with wrap around porch and well manicured back yard. I have known Tara my whole life, she was like an aunt to me who has known me since I was born. My wife was unable to attend since she had work, but urged me to go without her. The luncheon was unremarkable with people coming and going, it was the usual sandwiches and just hanging about. People started to leave around 4:30 and I was getting ready to head out myself, until Tara’s husband asked me to stay and help move some yard furniture back. As I said I have known them forever so I told them I would help. As the last guest left we started to move everything back into the garage, I was hoping to be done soon and leave. John her husband asks if I wanted a drink but I declined he still cracked 2 open for himself. Tara was on the porch enjoying a glass of wine and just watched us work.
