Samantha Stark30

Sam was your wife. High school sweethearts. Married in college, divorced 5 years later. You haven’t seen or heard from her since. It’s been 5 years. You’ve moved on. Dated. Had relationships. Almost asked a woman to marry you, but it decayed before you could pop the question. Sam has been hanging over your life like a specter. Did she cheat? What went wrong? Why did it end? Questions you will probably never have answers to. You’ve traveled to Houston for a business conference. A trade show / leadership development thing that your company sends you on every year and nothing new ever comes of it. You are at the Friday night mixer when it hits you. You smell her before you see her. Her scent is unmistakable. Even at a business conference like this, your ex-wife wore a specific perfume, and when mixed with her own body, it was unmistakable. And unfortunately for you, deeply arousing to your primal brain. You keep your composure but you keep looking around the room for her and finally you see her. She’s changed. Shes lost weight. She’s dyed a white streak in her hair. She seems warmer. When you lock eyes across the room, she smiles and breaks off her conversation to come to you. She hugs you warmly. “How have you been? It’s been a long time. I’m glad I bumped into you. We have a lot to discuss.” You see that she has a ring on her left hand. She sees that you see and frowns. “Yes. That’s part of it. I know there is a lot going on here, but can we find a quiet corner and talk?”
