Nobis Pacem Chapter 1
I groaned. “I am not. Am not. Falling in love.”
Jules and Diane smirked again, and shot me the same skeptical raised eyebrows from earlier.
“We’re saying you have an out, Aerin, because of who she is. How she looks. It’s alright to say that you’re falling for her!” Diane said gently. And then she switched topics and asked, “She’s told you that we’ve had lunch a few times, right?”
I nodded. So Diane continued, “We scored a couple of rounds of free martinis from a table of these young Turks in smart suits once, and I’m willing to admit it’s because of her. In fact almost all of those guys dropped their business cards by Chris as they left.”
I frowned at that.
Diane chuckled as she continued, “If that irritates you, you’ll love this: for one lunch we decided to sit in a table by the garden path of this restaurant we frequent, because it was an unseasonably warm day. And we’d been swapping stories about the antics guys had gotten into when distracted in public by a woman. So I noticed that the bike path that swept near our table veered dangerously close to a temporary row of bright red and orange cones. And I also saw that more than a few guys jogging past had glanced at Chris as they jogged by.”
I didn’t like where this was going.
“I dared her to top the funniest story that she’d just shared. She asked, “Alright, I’m in. How?” So I said, “there’s a group of bikers a couple of hundred yards away heading this way and there’s a pack of joggers about a hundred yards out heading in the opposite direction. They’re on a collision course right in front of us, and I think if you rubbed an ice cube on your neck, and then down your cleavage, before popping the ice cube in your mouth and sucking it, you would cause a few of them to look and hopefully narrowly avoid crashing into someone.”
Jules and I looked askance at Diane. “You dared her to do what?”
“She laughed and tried to wave me off. But I double-dared her, and I bet our lunch tab, on top of that,” Diane continued, and even against the firelight, we could see her sky-blue eyes were sparkling with excitement at the memory.

Bette and tina????
Here in spirit. But this is about a few special L words that play out in a couple’s life in another part of town. In the fringes of the world of the series I’ve been writing; but different. Hope you like it.
What a beautiful story! Your writing is such a treat to read as you evoke every emotion.
Will try this again. Left a message about 4:00 this morning and something happened, it’s not posted. My message was to thank you for posting such a beautiful love story. And that I hope this story will be continued we would like to know what happens to Aerin in the future. Thanks for sharing.
What an amazing story ! So glad I stumbled upon this treasure !
Sad and sweet -but you said it complete.
Dainty, Hellbent, and new friends: thanks for the comments. Honestly: was tough to pull this together, but it was worth it. Am v glad you liked it. Ok. I hear you. It may take a while for an update on her story, but it will be coming.
Well this was a pleasant surprise. I am always seeking an episode from your creativity. So much, I had to buy a smaller electronic device so that I might read your input on the go. Now, for me buying another electronic anything is saying a lot. I am one of the “dial phone” “get up and change the channel” “do not Text me and expect an answer” old school DIE HARD. But, your writing genius persuaded me to become a mobile reader at my neighborhood “coffee house.” Please continue to write
Beautiful story. I could feel Aerin’s struggle. I would love to read about the 18 months in between their first time and Chris’ final moments. I sure it would be moving.
