A couple years ago I took a solo trip to the American Rockies. Trail-running, rafting, peak-bagging. I drank beer, got high and relished the alpine environment.
Part of my trip was several days on a silent retreat. It was just what I needed to review my life and my recent divorce.
After the retreat I made reservations at a nearby hot springs resort. I arrived, checked into my room and surveyed the grounds. The place was amazing. I love the high desert.
I was ready to get in the springs. There were dozens of pools to try. So I walked over to the springs and spas area but it felt a bit overwhelming. I didn’t know how it worked, what I needed to do or exactly where to go.
That’s when I saw her. Slender, long brown hair, amazing skin, yummy figure, sparkling green eyes. She was about ten years younger than me (in her 30s). After my recent trials I wondered if maybe it was time for an…encounter.
