Returned Home

I'm David 32 was single on my return, I had away for 6 years and didn't return for the funeral of my younger brother Clifford who died 4 years ago in a freak accident. Working on the construction of a mountain road he went to inspect the result of blasting and while driving up to the site of it a large rock that had been loosened came down and hit his vehicle and killed both of the people in it. Clifford was married with 1 child and another on the way. Emma 30, his wife was totally devastated by his loss. It took 3 years for her to cope with things again She lived with my parents who helped her through the loss of Clifford and raising the children. Emma's father had left before she was born and her mother died when she was 21. So our family was all she had to rely on. On my return, I got a job managing the local airport, it's only medium size airport and doesn't handle large passenger jets. I got my own house next to my parents and shortly after my starting at the airport my assistant left to marry and move interstate. I needed a new assistant and I advertised for one and had no applicants at all. I was over my parent's house for Sunday dinner, which is expected by them and my mother Donna said I should ask Emma as she had done similar work before marrying Clifford and only stop after the birth of their first child. Needing an assistant I asked Emma, she was reluctant to accept at first but with encouragement from all of us. She agreed to give it a try, Donna said she would watch the children when Emma was working. Emma wasn't sure that she could handle the job, I knew she would give it her best. After a little time adjusting to the routine of the office she settled in very well and was soon across the requirements of the job and the jargon that went with it. After several months you wouldn't know she hadn't been doing the job long. Emma took care of a lot of the minor things and this let me deal with the running of the airport. We worked closely together and I started to get more attracted to her as time passed. Then after a storm caused damage to the airport and the town, I was working twenty-hour days for a week and it was Emma that helped me thru. I had to go to the head office and report the damage and repairs done the week after we had finished them. Emma came along and we shared the same hotel room and the night before returning home I made a pass at her and we slept together for the first time and that started our relationship.
