CHAPTER 17
On Monday, Tylo went into Gary's office and said, "You know I'm taking Wednesday through Sunday off."
"Yes, do you need anything?"
"No."
Wednesday was a bad day emotionally for Tylo; she went to visit Ashley gravesite for a couple of hours and wept. Wept for the past, present, and future. She finally got home around 5 pm. Every year since Ashley passed away, Bradley sent flowers even the last 2 years after he remarried. She didn't see any flowers, so she hoped that he had stopped the tradition. She was exhausted from crying and just wanted to crawl in bed to sleep.
Frank had gotten home, even though her great niece was out of town Mabel was still there. When Frank looked in the kitchen, he saw the red roses and wondered what was up so he asked, "Mabel what's up with the flowers?"
"I was getting out of my car when a florist van pulled up in your neighbor's driveway. She wasn't home so he asked me if I would sign for them. I was going to take them over to her when I left. Unless of course, you want to."
Frank figured it was the guy that she was with the night of her party. He wanted to open the card but felt he was invading her privacy. He said, "I take them over."
Mabel looked at him and said, "I didn't think she's your type. She's nothing like my niece Jillian, very plain."
Frank got up and left the room, when he returned he shoved the Society News Section with Tylo's picture in front of Mabel.
"Oh my." Mabel said when she looked at the picture. Who would have thought she was that beautiful underneath those drabby clothes she wore. The woman in the picture would have definitely caught Frank's eye from the get go.
"Well, I leave you be, so you can play delivery boy." She smiled as she kissed him on the cheek and let herself out.
Frank sat for a moment debating whether or not to read the card, before he took the flowers over. In the end, he decided to read the card. It read, "You and Ashley will always have a special place in my heart. Love Bradley."
Tylo had finally calmed down and stopped crying, she was a sight, red nose and puffy eyes.
The doorbell rang, the last thing Tylo wanted to do is see anyone, but she got up and answered the door.
Frank was standing there with the roses when she opened the door. He said, "Mabel signed for these earlier today."
Tylo thought so Bradley had struck again, tears welled up in her eyes, but she knew she had to keep her emotions in check especially with Frank. He could tell she had been crying and was about to again by way her lips were quivering.
She tried to talk but no words came out so with shaking hands she reached for the vase. Frank let go thinking she had it until it crashed to the ground between them. She looked at Frank and then the flowers on the ground; she bent down to start picking up the flowers.
As she was trying to pick the flowers up, the tears rolled down her face. Frank bent down to help when he did he saw that she was crying. He reached for her arms and pulled her towards him as his arms encircled her. That was her breaking point and she began to sob.
She buried her head in his chest and before she knew it her arms encircled his waist. As he held her, he couldn't help but feel her womanly body up against his. Under different circumstances, he might have made a move on her but now wasn't the time. He had also noticed the scars that ran across her stomach under the skimpy shirt she was wearing.
Though the haze, Tylo realized that she had involunteerly wrapped her arms around his body. His magnificent hard body, she pulled away from him and he let her go out of his embrace.
