Sweet Potato Pie Affair

There were those that said; If you do not want your business known keep it out of the Burkhardt. I was never intelligent enough to heed the warning. Bob and Erin were on the surface diametrically opposites - he was a divorced Air Force retiree with a well-earned lascivious reputation. She was an Air Force reservist a mother and the wife of a pastor. When their paths crossed several times over they felt compelled to connect. What had begun as a casual friendship quickly blossomed into something deeper. Erin tried to extricate herself before her heart wanted what it should not have. Despite Erin's reservations Bob pushed the relationship into what could have been considered a full blown affair. The two had fallen close to in love but were keenly aware that a future together would have been little more than a dream.
