Anyway here&#039;s another update.*The next morning were Pam and Afton already seated at the breakfast table when Josephine came downstairs. “Good morning Josephine,” Pam smiled. “Did you have a good night?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “No I barely slept a wink all night,” Josephine sighed, as she sat down.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh?” Afton raised an eyebrow. “So you met someone at the wedding?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Josephine gave her an offended look, “No why?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well I just assumed,” Afton shrugged her shoulders, as the memories of Lucy’s wedding flooded back to her, “I mean it’s not unheard of people hooking up at weddings...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well don’t assume anything,” Josephine said harshly. “I’m not a slut like you!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Josephine! Don’t be so hard on Afton,” Pam said scolding. “She was just trying to be nice and you did leave the wedding early so...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I left because I couldn’t stand watching you making googly eyes at Bobby!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What?” Pam dropped her chin in surprise. “You got upset because I was dancing with Bobby?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah it was disgusting the way you were flirting with him,” Josephine said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I wasn’t flirting we were just...”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Dancing and laughing and yes you were flirting mom, admit it!”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pam shifted uncomfortably at that since deep down she knew it was true. She had flirted but not wanting to admit that to her daughter she turned to Afton, expecting her to back her up, “Afton you were there so can you tell my daughter that she’s blowing this way out of proportion?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Um...” Afton licked her lips.“Actually Pam you were sort of flirting,” Afton smiled at her former sister in law who looked embarrassed when she heard that. “But don’t worry I think it was cute.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well I don’t,” Josephine said accusingly. “I thought you loved dad.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Of course I loved Leone,” Pam said. “But he’s dead and I don’t think he would want me to spend the rest of my life mourning for him.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Maybe not but Bobby’s married so he’s off limits,” Josephine said maliciously and Pam flinched from her words. It was the truth but it still hurt to hear it.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I know that,” Pam said testily. “We were just talking about the old days when we were married. That’s all.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well that’s fine I guess,” Josephine sighed. “Just as long as you remember that you’re not married to him anymore.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Josephine I don’t get what’s gotten into you,” Pam said. “I mean my son got married yesterday so I think it’s perfectly fine that I spent some time reminiscing with his dad on such a happy occasion.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well as long as that was all you were doing,” Josephine sighed heavily before she got up from the table. “Now if you’ll excuse me I have a lot of papers to read though.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Ewing Global?” Pam asked.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah I have a lot to learn about the oil business,” Josephine said.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “So did I when I first started working with your uncle Cliff,” Pam said. “It took quite a long time before he took me seriously though. At first he just used me as a decoration to close deals.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Well luckily the times has changed since the 1980’s,” Josephine said, before she walked off leaving Afton and Pam all alone at the table.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Oh I’d say our hairs has gotten lots smaller,” Afton said and Pam laughed at that.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yeah and our shoulders too.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Thankfully,” Afton said shaking her heads. “I don’t get how shoulder pads could ever be in.” They both laughed at that before Afton turned serious. “There’s one thing that hasn’t changed though.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “What’s that?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “You and Bobby,” Afton said and Pam&#039;s laughter got stuck in her throat. “I saw how you were looking at each other last night.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Our son was getting married so I wouldn’t read too much into it if I were you,” Pam said, trying to deny the obvious. But Afton wasn’t about to just drop it as she could see right through her.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “But you do still love him, don’t you?”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Yes,” Pam admitted with a sigh. “But it doesn’t matter since he is married to someone else now.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “I don’t think you should let that stop you,” Afton said. “I mean you were married to him first and if Katherine hadn’t meddled you still would have been married to him.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Probably,” Pam said. “But I still don’t wanna get between him and his wife.”&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; “Fine do the noble thing,” Afton said. “But a love like that you only get once in a lifetime so if you ask me I’d say that life is too short to waste it,” Afton said and Pam looked pensive when she thought it over. It was true that what she and Bobby had shared had been special but it had also been so long ago that it seemed foolish to think that they could just pick up where they left off as time had changed them both.
