I liked this story.  These were everyday sort of people.  For once, the guy is not some super rich Prince Charming who saves the poor Black woman from a life of impoverished misery.  He's a regular working Joe (not his name) who's been divorced twice.  He's got two daughters he's raising by himself while he works in construction.  He's struggling financially.  He's friends with Amory.  The author never explained how they met.  Maybe through their children?  Anyway, he's always been attracted to her, but she's married with two boys of her own.  He's never really liked her husband but remained friends with Amory.  She helps him by babysitting his girls and spending girl time with them.  I like how their relationship develops without there being any adultery.  The children play a small role.  The teenager in this story was actually likeable.  I also like how the ending of the story was grounded in reality.  I also appreciate the fact that there were few editing, grammar, and spelling mistakes.
