when she heard Johnie calling from the porch. Johnie was a sweet man. He was 25 years her senior and she had married him for security for her daughter Jessie. The marriage had been perfect except for one thing..... and her mind was constantly on it...... Now confronted with this handsome man, her thoughts wandered. She was snapped back into reality when she heard Johnnie's voice calling to her.
granny2billy: "Hustle yourself into that kitchen' Johnny sternly commanded "all this fresh air has given me an appitite" Hazel was deflated,hurt and embaressed all at once.If only Johnnie could cook,if only he could execute as simple a task as frying an egg their marriage would be perfect.Hazel had met Johnnie at one of her many cookbook signings at a local mall.He had sheltered her from the rush of adoring but rabid fans,he offered refuge for both her and Jesse.It was fun at first,cooking brunches,lunches,quick snacks and late munches.but he became far too demanding and sometimes physical.
