    ... square in the face. "David, I won't hide anything from you, ever. I have loved you from the first week we met. You are a loving, kind, thoughtful man. But you were my best friend's husband, so nothing was going to happen. She's my best friend, I tried to keep you two together, so you two could be happy. But now she has screwed it up.
    
    "I know you like me as a friend, but I don't know how deep that goes. I was not going to declare my attraction to you until you divorced her, but when she got the paperwork, and I've listened to you I know there is no way back for you. I'm here for you. In every way. I mean in every way." With that she leaned forward and kissed me full on the lips. I sat there still stunned.
    
    She stood up and walked to the front door. I couldn't catch her up in the hall. I liked Julie a lot. But did I understand exactly what she said? Shit why do women do this to you?
    
    I had another bad night's sleep. Sunday morning when I got up it was a reasonable hour. I phoned Julie and asked her if I could pop round to see her. I had sorted out a few things out in my brain. But I still had one question.
    
    I got to her place mid-afternoon, and she opened the door to me. I don't remember her looking this good, she always seemed to dress down, very professional, not sexy professional. She made me a cup of tea and we sat looking at each other across the kitchen table. I had to start "Julie, I'm confused. You say you've loved me for a long time, for many years. Why ...
    ... didn't you say anything?"
    
    "David. You're an honourable man, you would not have cheated on Ellie, and I wouldn't have let you. I love Ellie as a sister, she's been a good friend. She helped me through my divorce, well you both did. I started telling her two or three years ago she needed to look after herself. Now, and as you say hindsight is in exact science. We'd been drinking a bit this last week and she has let a few things slip. I think she fancied Richard and knew about his fetish for older large women. It was right up her street. I didn't think of it at the time, but I think you're right, she planned most of this. She will never admit it of course.
    
    "I know you like me, and you have an affection for me. I'm hoping that will be enough for you to let me fully into your life. I have watched you for the last dozen or so years. I probably know you better than you know yourself. Ellie has even told me some of the things you get up to in the bedroom, not too much, no intimate details. I know you like corsets and stockings. But what red blooded man doesn't."
    
    She looked at me and smiled. "David, I think you might need a little while to sort this out. I will be here for you as a friend. Or more if you want it." She paused. "I will be that divorcee that will warm your bed, you don't have to love me, just let me show my love for you. I have given you a lot to think about. So, I think you had better go now. Please remember that I love you, give me a call at any time."
    
    I had ...
