Letting Go

Chapter One

Kari Loftin settled the Chicago Cubs cap on her sleek brown hair and walked into

the sports bar of the hotel as if she came here every day. She didn’t go to bars alone

unless she was meeting someone on business. It had always seemed so…shady to her.

She might not even be here tonight except the Cubs were in first place in all of Major

League Baseball and sitting home alone trying to celebrate sucked. Her life needed

some shaking up.

At forty-two she was finally tired of living in the past and having no future. Of

telling herself she was satisfied with her pitiful excuse for a sex life. Of putting herself in

the position where that sex life only left her with groping middle-aged men who

popped Viagra like candy.

Today, when nothing allowed her breathing room from the iron control she always

fought to keep in place, she realized how empty she had deliberately made her life.

There was something to be said for letting go. If she could make herself do it. All the

gods and goddesses willing, before her courage ran out, tonight she’d find a man who

could help her live out her secret fantasies.

And so, like some obsessed sports fan—well, wasn’t that what she was?—she’d dug

out her Cubs t-shirt and cap and slapped on the makeup—soft tonight, for a change.

She’d almost chickened out when she gave herself one last mirror check. Even her daily

exercise couldn’t quite make a significant impact on her full breasts, wide hips and

what she preferred to call “lush” thighs. She had her mother’s figure and there wasn’t

much she could do about it. She looked at herself and sighed. Oh well. If nothing else

happened, at least she was going to enjoy her favorite baseball team in something other

than solitude.
