Chance Meeting with History
I never expected to come face to face with history in an airport shuttle bus. My plane out of JFK was late taking off, causing many passengers, including me, to miss our connections. At 10:30 p.m. on a Sunday night, a bunch of us wound up marooned in Salt Lake City, trudging through the terminal as airport vendors rolled down security bars to close their shops. Among the passengers, I had noticed a courtly, distinguished, elderly gentleman with a…

Vulnerable and lonely after her husband’s death, Tawny finds hope in a chance meeting with a handsome, dashing widower. Turns out their meeting is anything but chance.
