Deep Secret

There are always secrets. What did you think when you saw her? Knowing she had all the power of your world over you?
Every day I was obligated to drive to the Buffalo Trading Post to pick up Lolo, who was Newt Bass‘s sister-in-law. She ran the dress shop. Although she was at least 20 years older than me, she was beautiful and glamorous and rich and invited me once to take a trip alone with her to Peru. Machu Picchu. Just the two of us. I was never sure whether she meant it. I was flattered and I won’t lie that the prospect took my breath away at the time.
Even though a mere lad I was smart enough to not allow myself to be embarrassed. I felt sure if I had reacted enthusiastically she would have had a good laugh on me. So I simply smiled every time she asked whether I had my passport. It was a daily game.
Be seeing you
