Replaced By A Younger Model

The Old Man. No not my father, my husband.

He stopped paying attention to me and nothing helped. Romantic evenings, wine, erotic movies. Those nasty medications. Nothing, nada. I wasn't ready. I got around a little but felt guilty. Settled into the long cold life before me.

One day a year later a young woman stopped by with a baby. claimed she was looking for child support. I told her she was mistaken the old man couldn't have made her. She swore up and down he did, so I asked for a paternity test, the expensive one. The result was positive.

I learned one thing about old men. They like young women. And young women like old men, with money.
