Atlanta in November

By Michelle Laflamme

She is naturally beautiful

Gorgeous…

He is floored

A Peachtree Street hotel

Perky bosom

Flat abs

Dinner and drinks…

A rented Mercedes

Cost one grand

To risk it all…

I am not this woman

I am his wife

He said it wasn’t personal

No bosom

Fat abs

Head hung low

No longer naturally beautiful
