My husband and I only have one car. So after work I always walk to his office and wait for him to drive mc home.
One day, while I was waiting for him, a beautiful Cadillac near me.Honestly, the driver was probably the prettiest woman I had ever seen outside of a movie screen. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and she had like an even row of pearls. Minutes later, a man came out of the building and walked over to her. They kissed and drove off.
Sitting there, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, I wanted to cry. It is so that some people have it all.
The next week I saw her again, and after that it became almost to see her. I would wonder if she and her husband ate out a lot and where they went. I wanted her to the car so I could see her in full length. Did she wear classy, high-heeled shoes?
A few weeks, I was waiting in my usual spot and the lady's husband came over to their car.He opened the door. Slowly the pretty woman walked around to the passenger side— on a walking cane. She one leg with her hands and then the other one; she had a prosthetic(假肢) on her left leg and a brace (文架) on her right one.
When my husband arrived I told him about what had happened. He said he knew her husband and that, when the lady was 12 years old, she had been in a car that got stuck on the railroad tracks. Both her parents were killed.The rail company made a large with her because the crossing had no ; that is why she owned such a nice car.
