It was 1.30pm when Gary woke up and decided to take himself into the bathroom and have a shower and he had just finished drying off when the doorbell rang.
He
slipped on his robe and made his way downstairs and the doorbell rang again.
“Ok
I’m coming” Gary called.
He
got to the front door as quickly as possible and on opening it he discovered
Evelyn standing the other side of it in tears.
“What’s
happened?” he asked as he pulled her into the house.
He
quickly closed the door, and she immediately threw herself into his arms.
It
was some minutes before she had composed herself sufficiently to be able to
speak.
“I’ve
just come from the hospital,” she sobbed and then broke down again.
So,
he chivalrously stepped into action, offering himself up to comfort her with
arms open wide.
“I’m
sorry” Evelyn said gratefully accepting his open arms and burying her
tearstained face in his neck.
He
made encouraging noises and stroked her back, but being a shoulder to cry on
was the full extent of his expertise.
They
held that position for some time until Evelyn’s sobs began to get shallower and
shallower and eventually abated.
But
still she held on to him tightly and began to nuzzle his neck and he could feel
her breath on his skin, and while still nuzzling his neck her hands began to
caress up and down his back and her nuzzles turned to kisses.
So,
it appeared the Gary could do more than offer a shoulder to cry on as he ended
up consoling her on the sofa, before consoling her some more later in his bed.
