Chapter 110 Long Time

• Tuesday, July 19, 2005 – 7 p.m.
• Aline and I sat at a table by ourselves. The restaurant was almost full, but we had a table for six to ourselves. I was going to have to do some serious working out after this cruise because the lack of appetite that had afflicted me for three and a half months had vanished on this trip. I didn't know if it was the cruise, the sea air, French cuisine or Aline. Probably the latter.
• Just sitting beside her at that table, crisp linen and the smell of white wine and French dishes mixing with her perfume made me feel young. I hadn't felt this young in a long, long time.
