Attracted By My Ex-wife

Kevin attended to making an appointment with his friends to talk business, after breakfast. Anne was going to take the child for a walk about the general area to get some fresh air. Before she had made this trip, she had known that the place was known for its exquisite natural beauty. The hotel service was fantastic and attended to arranging a driver to accompany her on her walk.

Emily described the facts and history about the beautiful area. Her voice was melodic and easy on the ear. She spoke in such a pleasant tone. The walk through the beautiful place did wonders for them. Anne felt relaxed.

When they had arrived at the first designated picnic spot, Anne could feel the hot, humid atmosphere on full blast. This was truly weather only fitting of a tropical season. The hotel was air-conditioned so Anne hadn't felt the true heat of the place until now. Emily, however, was fully prepared.

Equipped with a lovely sunhat, she pushed the stroller and did her best to walk in whatever shade was available on the lane. They were not too far from the sea. In the distance, she could make out the beautiful beach coconut palms, and general scenery so characteristic of the southern parts of the country. The baby was quite well-behaved, but it had been a long time since he had a chance to stretch his little limbs. So, he lifted his arms and legs, kicking and punching the air. His eyes watched his arms and legs intently, but he also glanced at his mother fondly, from time to time.

He was still so new to the world and everything he saw aroused his curiosity. He struggled but managed to free himself from the stroller. He went to grab his mom's hand and totter on the leaves under his small, unsteady feet. He became very excited by this new experience.

Both mom and son were dressed casually in white sports tights and three-quarter sleeved T-shirts. Kevin also had a similar set of clothes, but since he wasn't with them now, no one noticed that the three were in fact coordinated.

Holding the tiny tot by the hand, Anne walked a little ahead of Emily, who pushed the baby stroller and followed them. When she saw Ted looking at her curiously, she winked playfully at him. She couldn't help smiling.

"Anne, this tot is so cute!"

"You can also have one," Anne responded.

"It's not that easy," said Emily. She seemed to think of something, and the smile slowly slipped off her face.

As they proceeded on their walk, they heard some commotion coming from nearby. Her motherly instincts kicked in and Anne picked up her baby quickly. She noticed that someone had fainted a few feet away. A young man was busy next to the person as if he was attending to treating the person's condition.

Just as Anne was about to turn away from the scene and walk away, she noticed Emily looking a bit glassed over. Her eyes were unfocused and she unconsciously followed the busy young man's movements.

"Emily, what are you looking at?" asked Anne.

"What? Nothing." Emily snapped out of it, coming back to her senses. Her answer was abrupt and her eyes wandered as if just rudely awakened.

"Oh, then let's go. There is nothing else interesting to see here," Anne responded.

"Wait a minute. Let's just stay a bit longer. There is a beautiful statue; it's not too far away and I hear it's quite an interesting visit. Let's go have a see," Emily reported quickly.

Just as Anne was about to disagree with Emily, she noticed that the young man had attended successfully to the person who had fainted, and the crowd had completely dispersed now. He was walking towards them.

As he approached them, he came into better focus. The young man was quite a towering figure, probably 182cm in height. He was strikingly handsome and had a grace about him. There was a hint of a smile in his hazel eyes. His general appearance and aura made people feel at ease.
