Runaway Groom Chapter 3

 

         So the next evening John knocked on Jierra's door. She immediately opened the door.  Her eyes were half closed and her long brown hair was piled on top of her head in butter-yellow curlers. She had on a white bathrobe and some plain fluffy white slippers. John felt unsure about asking his question, so he answered the first thing that popped into his mind. "I want a beer!"

Jierra walked down the hall and turned. She was now out of John's sight. A few minutes later she came back  with a beer. She handed him a beer. "If you care to know, I love you, John," said Jierra. John put the beer on a table by the door.  He stepped out onto the porch and closed the door. He walked down the steps and along the sidewalk until he came to his car. He got in and drove away.
