Forever Yours

STRANGERS WHEN THEY MET

Their first meeting took place in a Laundromat when he talked her in to sharing a dryer. On their second meeting, he showed up on her doorstep with a brown paper bag holding two flimsy bras and a pair of lace panties.

Mary Shields was the new girl in town, a transplanted New Yorker who had learned never to talk to strangers. But in this tiny Indiana town there were only friendly folk. And Mike Gibson certainly wanted to get friendly - after all, he was already intimate with her lingerie.

But it wasn't the friendly part that worried Mary. After their first two meetings, she could only guess what their next rendezvous would be like.
