My brother's wife has always been very flirty with me at all of our family functions. He never noticed because he was always drunk. She always hugged me a little too tightly or rubbed against me in a seductive manner. I think at one event we might have even kissed. I enjoyed the attention but nothing could never happen because my brother would kill me.
My brother and I had a rocky relationship and hadn't seen him in a few years or even talked to him for that matter.
I received a call that my brother had passed away suddenly. I was in shock and was unsure what to even do. I talked to some family members but not to his wife Dina. I pondered if I should attend the service. It was in another town about 3 hours from my house. I ultimately decided to go.
On Friday the day of the memorial service I drove the 3 hours to the funeral home. The service went off without a hitch. I really didn't want to attend the luncheon afterwards. You know families and all the drama. I was about to leave when Dina approached me and wrapped her arms around me. I squeezed her tightly back and held her for a few minutes. I was surprised she wasn't sobbing uncontrollably. I kissed her on the forehead and told if she needed anything to let me know.
I started to walk to my car when Dina came running after me. She grabbed my hand and said, "Please don't leave. I need to talk to you."
"Call me and we will get together when I'm in town. Now is probably not the time." Her city was in my territory and visited the every couple of weeks.
