I hoped that you are at least a little relaxed and that the food was up to your standards, I know how chefs can be.

I believe I am right in thinking that you have nothing to wear. Open the boxes I saw them and thought of you. Get dressed and when you are ready look out of the window. You carriage awaits.

            Yours, Your wife and your soul.

P.S. Please blow out the candles I don’t what to burn down the house.

I laughed, as I knew she would have done whilst writing the note and then placed it aside to open the boxes. Inside the larger box was a gorgeous dress Chinese in style but long with a revealing slit that came almost to the top pf my thigh on one side it was made of the smoothes silk. It was a vibrant blue that red. A colour she had loved me in since the night we met. It fit perfectly as I pulled it on. I silently thanked her for picking a style that had a high neck to cover my scars, one day I would be ready to show them to the world but not tonight.

In the second box was a delicate pair of healed sandals in black and red they were exquisite they made me stand over six feet but I knew that she would be up there with me and so did not mind she knew Manolo’s were one of my passions and had indulged me well.

I applied Make up and let my hair fall naturally it looked good falling over the red silk of my dress, a little wild perhaps but good. Then I quickly blew out the candles before heading for the door.

I stood by the door waiting for her to open it and was taken aback when I saw her she looked truly beautiful. As she saw the car her mouth fell open. It was a 1969 mustang, and where Andy had found it on such short notice I had no idea but she was awe struck as Andy said she would be. Rachel had a passion for three things apparently. Food, Shoes and vintage cars. I smiled and offered my arm.
