Wait and See

Brad and Kate meet at Richardson’s Bar and soon escape from a venue not geared to their forty-plus years. He doesn’t know why he turned into that particular bar in the city he was visiting. She wishes she hadn't let her girlfriends drag her into that bar after dinner on the town. Such a happenstance meeting should be over quickly and casually. What prolongs this togetherness? Neither stops to think of the implications, not just for them but for their families. As the momentum of the weekend propels them into a romance that neither searched for, their lives and those of the people who surround them have to be evaluated. What needs to change? Is it fair Brad and Kate initiate change? As much as a quick resolution would simplify matters, it can't happen. Given time and change, it may be resolved. Brad and Kate and those connected to them, like you, the reader will have to wait and see.
