A Love Like That

<p><strong><em>After my wife died I never expected to fall in love again let alone with her much younger sister.</em></strong></p><p>Elle's too young for me though.</p><p>Too vibrant and cheerful to be saddled with a grumpy widower and two little kids.</p><p><br></p><p>Besides she's only here for a few months before she moves on to follow her dreams.</p><p>And there's no way we could be together even if she were staying.</p><p><br></p><p>It doesn't seem to matter how often I remind myself of all the reasons why we can't or shouldn't be together my body won't listen.</p><p>Ever since Elle moved in all I can think about is her. All I want is her.</p><p><br></p><p>She restored order to my home. She got my kids to smile and laugh again. Even I'm smiling more.</p><p>For the first time since my wife's death I feel alive hopeful.</p><p><br></p><p>I already said goodbye to my childhood sweetheart my wife and the mother of my children.</p><p>And I know I have to let Elle go; I'm just not sure if I can.</p>
