We were in bed early one night when I chose to bring up Mary's mention of Bob's name in an erotic description of her watching neighbors through our kitchen window.
I said Mary, "How did you know his name was Bob?"
She replied, "John, believe me when I say I was going to tell you, but promise you won't doubt my love for you after what happened."
Regardless of what she meant I agreed. I would never doubt Mary's love.
"John, it was about a week before you caught me watching them making love that night. I knew her name was Linda from talking to her in our garden. It was a hot day and she asked me in to have coffee. We were sitting there making conversation when she got up and made a phone call in the other room. I couldn't hear her except she mentioned my name. It could have been Mary's here but I'm not sure. When she got back and sat down she had a smile on her face. She looked right in my eyes and said."
"Mary, we know you watched Bob and I making love. There was a light somewhere and we could see your silhouette in the kitchen window."
"John, I couldn't speak out of shame. I put my hands over my face and I'm sure my face was red. I thought back and remembered the night the light was on in the bathroom with the door partly open. I told Linda I was so sorry and I think I was almost crying. Linda came over and sat next to me on the love seat. She put her arm around me and said,"
"Dear girl, look at me. It wasn't offensive at all but actually turned us on. We were moving in two days but if it had not been for that something hot might have happened. We had no idea you were so inclined but saw gentle movements and were convinced you were touching yourself."
