I Love You by Anna Harris (free ebooks for android .txt) 📖

"Good morning sugar", Paula said to Ann who walked into her mother in law's house bringing Elle with her.
"Good morning Paula", Elle ran to her grandmother kissing her in the face.
"Ruby Mae is playing out there sweety, join her", Paula kissed her hair and the little girl ran out side. Ruby Mae was her same age and Paula was her sitter.
"How is everything with Dwight?", she asked as she served coffee.
"The same, he comes to the house everyday to see Elle but nothing else", she sat with her mug in her hand.
"I think you both need to talk sugar"
"Maybe we do but we had been separated for three months and he hasn't said a word", a few moments later Dwight came into the kitchen.
"Good morning mamma, Ann", they looked at each other.
"Good morning Dwight?", he took a mug and served himself a cup of the good coffee.
"Are you free this afternoon?", he asked her looking into her eyes.
"Yeah, I am free, why?"
"Would you go out to dinner with me tonight?", Ann's legs trembled, she still had strong feelings for her husband of eight years.
"I could babysit Elle for you sugar", Paula offered.
"Well, thats taken care, sure I will go out to dinner with you"
"How about Elmer's, I know you love it there"
"I do", they had met there when Dwight was singing at night, he loved to sing and did so many nights that he was off duty, the way she felt when he sang Love Me Tender and how he ran across the parking lot to ask her for her name, she felt the sting of tears in her eyes.
"I sure have good memories of Elmer, I hope you do too", he finished his cofee and sat right next to her.
"Yes, the best memories, good ones and sad ones too"
"More good ones, don't you think baby?", he hasn't called her baby since he left the house, her heart jumped in her chest, she had butterflies all over her body, Dwight was the only man she had ever really loved.
"I think so, got to go now I have to do some grocery shopping", he got up and holded her hand.
"Do you mind if I tag along, I have the day off and need to buy some stuff for mamma"
"No, I don't mind", she felt that Dwight was trying to get closer but why after three long months and not before, maybe he was confuse and now he was more open to discussing what had troubled them in the past.
"I see you later Paula"
"Don't spoile Elle mamma", he kissed her face.
"She is my grandchild for godness sake, now run along you two", they both laugh like in the old days and Ann gave him the keys to her car, he wanted to take the wheel and she didn't mind, once inside the Explorer he looked at her in a way that made her melt.
"We do need to talk, you know that"
"I know we do, is about time, don't you think?"
"I think it is, are we going on an official date tonight?", Ann laugh.
"I guess is official alright"

Ann loved Memphis since she moved there from Miami and after two years living in the city she had met Dwight an MPD police officer who loved to sing at Elmer's at night, they had fallen madly in love with eachother, she knew that they needed to make it work again.
