Mistress Ghost From Past

Tweet

Bubbles and Mistress had just settled in the rocker Some one pounded hard on the door then a falling sound Bubbles followed Mistress to the door there lay a man. Mistress gasped."holy Mother McLeod oh no." She bent and saw he was just unconscious Maceod McKinney her ex husband on her doorstep Bubbles knew him , sat there patting his face She phoned for the paramedics shaking like a leaf She and Bubbles followed the ambulance to the hospital In the waiting room Bubbles patted his Mistress as she wept A doctor came "\Mrs McKinney Im sorry, he did not make it.' Tears came, bitter alone,, loved him but divorced, he had strayed Back home Bubbles clung to her, both seated iin the rocker "Old cjhum he loved you."tears poured down herr face Bubbles patted her arm, wanting to make her stop crying. She dried her tears, petting Bubbles so gently They had divorced because he could not stay Like a wild bird, Macleod had to be in flight But she never stopped loving him no ,matter what Now Bubbles clung to her two friends in pain.
