Old ties by Saxon Bennett, I love she can't forget time in their 20-year relationship. Cleo lover has run off with another woman. her friends wonder why she puts up with this. why she lets herself be hurt this way, why she doesn't leave. but Cleo's answers are always the same. I wait because I love her. I heard because I love her. let her come back because I love her (pardon me but thats is a stupid reason to stay with someone.) a passion she can't deny anyone in her right mind with no better than to get involved with Cleo's life right now. but Frankie hasn't been in her right mind since the day she walked into Cleo's cafe. the heat between them is undeniable but Frankie desires more than a warm place in Cleo's bed she wants to fill her heart. a chance for true happiness maybe this time will be different. maybe this time can finally free herself from the chains of the past and surrender to a passionate new love. then again old ties are the hardest to break.
