...and she said, what she wanted and needed to say at this particular moment. Without the slightest hesitation, Amelia asked him to stop the car, looked boldly into John's eyes (which expressed hope, desire and maybe uneasy conscience...) and whispered;
"Why me? What made you think that I could be interested in you? You take it for granted that I will find you 'a perfect match', but why?"
She sighed deeply and said quietly to herself - "because you are richer...and you want to buy me like a jewel" and then Amelia added;
"I'm not alone, though I'm still single - don't you understand it? Loneliness and boring life, it refers to you and your wife! By the way, you didn't mention your children, how would your daughter react if she knew her dad sleeps with her teacher???"
All the time John was staring at this young woman with astonishment, he knew it didn't make sense to answer all her questions, she wasn't able to understand him, his pain - he felt so unhappy with Sophie, but he still loved her and couldn't leave her and their kids. And this Amelia was his chance to feel younger once again, it was important. To his surprise she said "no". What a pity!!!
After a few minutes John parked his Ford Escort in front of her house.When Amelia was unlocking her door, John wanted to check his charm once again and asked if he could come in just for a while to talk, kiss and hold her in his arms. Another "no" made him say goodbye and come back to his wife.
"I've been waiting for you for an hour. Did you have problems with your car? How's Amelia?" - Sophie liked asking many questions and John stopped enjoying answering them. He looked at his wife's face - she was still attractive despite some wrinkles - and felt he wanted her, just now...to forget Amelia.
