Ours is a fairly typical tale.
I was the rebellious scion of a doting millionaire. My father insisted I enjoy the carefree lifestyle he had always been denied. LA grew up in a cloistered house where her only carefree moments involved dancing with her mother and bespectacled sister while her father ran the local convenience store.
Engaged to be married against her will, she was granted a trip to Europe as a final, albeit temporary, reprieve. We met in Switzerland and madness ensued. She tasted liquor for the first time. I pretended to have ravished her in her drunken stupor…..oh, how we laughed at that particular ruse! Whenever she strayed too far from my presence, I lured her back with the plangent strains of my miniature lute/Indian banjo.
Eventually, she returned home to marry the philandering lout her parents had chosen. Determined to stop the wedding, I arrived uninvited. At first my presence was unwelcome but then I won her father over by defending him in a one on seven stick fight. Still unaware of his acquiescence to our marriage, I trudged off despondent, to board my train. Imagine my surprise when I saw her running triumphantly to meet me! The melody that had so often rung from my miniature lute/Indian banjo seemed to swell from the very heavens!
