This delightful and enchanting
story was chosen to appear in Bright Light Multimedia's latest anthology,
“Speaking of Love”.
For your pleasure and perusal, we present an extract from ...
How Did You Know?
“How did you
know?” the man asked the elderly woman, seated across the scarred kitchen table
from him. They were a juxtaposition at every level. He was tall, muscular, full
of life. She was older, a little hunched, flabby, and exuded a quiet energy.
“Know what?” she asked.
“That Uncle Matt was the one.”
“I remember it like yesterday, I noticed him at church, sitting with his family.
I didn’t hear a word the minister had to say that day.”
The look on her face transformed her and he could see the beauty she was in her
youth. She was the eldest of five sisters, the responsible one, the one who
never had suitors because she was always looking after the others. She was an
old maid when she finally married at age thirty; not old by today’s standards,
old by those of the times.
“And?”
“He looked nice.” She glanced at her hands. It was like she was remembering
something special and private.
He looked back at her and motioned with his hand to continue. “Nice? That’s it?
Nice?” He couldn’t believe that was the only criterion she’d had. His own list
was significantly longer, always had been.
