The Touch Ch. 38

"I DO love you.... more than anything...." I told her simply and quietly.

"I know that my darling," she replied. We kissed again for a little bit longer this time.

Not for the first time, I was glad that I had replaced the hedging around the front garden and drive with fast growing variegated Griselinia, a few years back and we could not now be overlooked by our nearest neighbours who were across the road.

It was probably not much after 7:45 when I got to the garden centre; Jack and Graham were already busy watering in the greenhouses and I noticed that the Land Rover was absent and guessed that Colin and Benson were already out on their assignments for the day. I would go through the job cards shortly and pick out a couple of tasks for myself but first I wanted to go across to the restaurant and find Grace or Suzan, I seriously needed a pot of hot black coffee and a good cooked breakfast, a very large cooked breakfast; I was absolutely starving and needed to build up my strength before going home.
