Mildred Vernon was the most important thing that had ever happened to him, an event that would forever color his existence. She was his mother's friend, a girl his mother had grown up with in Connecticut. Mildred and his mother remained friends for years and years, all during his childhood, and then one day Mildred and her family moved to New Hampshire and the two women saw each other only infrequently. Kevin had always been fascinated by Mildred, particularly since that one time when he caught a glimpse of her while she was changing her clothes in his mother's bedroom in preparation for a swim in a nearby lake. He'd been outside the house, and when he heard Mildred was headed for his mother's bedroom to get into her swimsuit, he walked around the back of the house hoping he might see something through the window. What he saw was Mildred half-dressed, stripped to the waist as she bent over to fetch her swimsuit out of her purse. He never saw more than that because there was no way to remain at the window, but the sight of Mildred's heavy swinging breasts had burned into his brain. |
