Chapter

Drusilla and Talon have the kind of love most people do not have. They have been together since their high school years. They were married two years out of high school and then had a daughter. Their daughter's name is Ambrosia. Drusilla and Talon has the life anyone would want, while Drusilla stayed home with their daughter, Talon worked as a welder. Talon did not want Drusilla to work while their daughter was growing up.

Drusilla is tall, thin, has long wavy brown hair. She's sexier than most women. When she was in high school all the boys wanted to date her. Talon was the lucky one who got to marry her. She fell in love with him instantly. Talon is your average handsome looking man. He has light brown hair and blue eyes.

They live in a small town in Kentucky, called Harrodsburg. The town is the smallest town and there are very little things to do. Some of the houses are captivating and some of the houses are abandoned. There was a distinct mansion that stood tall and has a pointed roof to it. The mansion has become abandoned, no one knows why it has. Drusilla and Talon lived near the mansion; Drusilla was stunned at how beautiful it looked. She has mentioned to Talon that she would love to live in a mansion, but Talon would just tell her, maybe someday they would.

There wasn't much to do in Harrodsburg, they would have a parade once a year, that's about it. There was nothing to do for kids growing up except one small park that had a swing set, sliding board, and a picnic area. As Ambrosia was growing up, Drusilla talked to Talon about moving somewhere else, where there are more things to do with kids. Talon couldn't move at the time because of his job. Drusilla would get frustrated because she couldn't take Ambrosia anywhere, she would tell Talon that they should pick somewhere to move and find a job wherever they move too. When Ambrosia was a baby, the area did not matter because she was too young to play. Ambrosia, now 12 years old gets bored often and why wouldn't she, there is nothing for her to do.

One day after dinner, Drusilla talked to Talon about looking for a job in London. Talon just looked at her in shock, he thought she may have been joking, but she was serious. Drusilla told him that there are many jobs in London for a welder. Talon just shook his head back and forth. He sat at the table, silently for a minute and looked at Drusilla and asked her if she was serious about moving to London, Drusilla told him that she was and that they could start looking for a job for him there. Talon then said, "Is this what you really want babe?" Drusilla said, "yes, let's do it, there is nothing for Ambrosia to do here." Talon told her that he will look up jobs tomorrow, since it's the weekend he will have more time. Drusilla was ecstatic, she gave him a big kiss and a hug. She had gotten so excited.

When their talk was over, Drusilla washed the dinner plates and Talon went upstairs to get a shower. After Drusilla finished cleaning the kitchen, she went upstairs to their bedroom. She changed into her lingerie and laid in bed. After Talon finished with his shower, he went into the bedroom with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Drusilla stood up and walked over to Talon and they started kissing passionately, then they both laid in bed and started having sex. Their sex life was amazing, they are so attracted to each other. After they finished having sex, they both went to bed.

Early the next morning when Talon got up, he immediately walked to the local market. Drusilla was still asleep; he went to pick up the newspaper. While he was gone, Drusilla woke up and went downstairs and put a pot of coffee on. She wondered where Talon went, he usually doesn't leave without telling her where he is going. While Drusilla waited for him to get back, she made breakfast. Talon was back about 10 minutes later. He walked in with the newspaper and sat at the kitchen table, Drusilla poured him a cup of coffee and told him, breakfast was almost ready. She asked him where he had gone, and he told her to the store to get the paper. Then he told her that he was going to check the job listings. Drusilla smiled and told him that she was happy about this decision.

It is the weekend and Talon told Drusilla that he was going to go to his buddy's house and talk to him about jobs. Drusilla told him that while he was at his buddy's house, she's going to take Ambrosia shopping. After breakfast, Talon went to his buddy's house, Drusilla and Ambrosia went to the mall. The mall was about a half hour away from their house.

Talon and John sit outside on John's porch. Talon tells John about the decision he and Drusilla made. John tells him that if that's what they want to do, then do it. He also tells him that there are many welding jobs around. Talon tells John how Drusilla wants to move to London, and he feels some type of way about moving there. John tells him to go and try living there. John thinks it is a nice place to live. Talon asks if he knew of any welding jobs there and John told him that he can check with one of his buddies who loved there a few years ago. John calls his buddy and asks him about welding jobs in London, his buddy told him that there are jobs there, not many but a few. John tells Talon what his buddy told him; Talon told him that he will just have to do it.
