Inside, Lyn went straight to the mantelpiece and picked up Russ’s letter. But this time she didn’t open the envelope, or look at the photograph. Instead, she took it straight upstairs to her bedroom and shut it away in a drawer.

On her next date with Ben, Lyn gave him her undivided attention – and he gave her his unqualified devotion. It was clear that he was smitten, and at times he would drift off from talking and simply gaze at her.

At first, it made Lyn feel a little uncomfortable. ‘What is it?’ she asked, as Ben sat staring at her in silence.

‘Boy, you really don’t know how cute you are,’ he replied. After that, Lyn decided that she rather liked it.

Soon, Ben and Lyn were seeing each other every evening. He treated her like royalty, always taking her coat for her, pulling out her chair at the table and bringing her chocolates and flowers. He persisted in calling her his ‘chowhound’ whenever he saw her stuffing her face, which always made her laugh.

When Ben and Lyn went to the pictures together they would stroll back home afterwards through Watts Park. It was on one of these walks that Lyn saw another side of Ben’s character that raised him even further in her estimation.
