I was returning home after being in Europe for the past year. My parents allowed me to study in France. The big problem was my parents split up while I was away. I received an email from both of them that when I got back they would be divorced. It really hit me hard. I also wanted to know if I could still attend school abroad the next year.
I was going to spend a week with my mother first. My Mom was in her early fifties at the time. She was still an attractive woman. I did wonder whether she would remarry at some time. When I arrived at my Mom's new place she gave me a big hug and a kiss. I was sort of shocked by the kiss. Normally my Mom was a reserved woman. She didn't show her emotions much.
I put my bags in her spare bedroom and then we sat down to talk. Mom said the split was mutual. They had grown apart over the years. When I went off to school there was no reason to stay together. My mother didn't dwell on the details. She said we would go out to dinner that night to celebrate my homecoming. We went out to an expensive place and we sampled the wine pretty well.
When we got home my Mom said she was going to bed. I went back to the spare bedroom and removed my clothes. I normally slept in the nude when I was at school. I pulled the bedsheet up over me and I decided to read a little. Maybe forty five minutes had passed. I heard the door open and there stood my Mom. She was wearing a nightie and I could see her body clearly. She walked over to the bed and sat down.
"I missed you Lucas," she told me.
