Dare him to look up from his perch. The morning sun slowly moves
competing with lazy clouds across the sky. He has not flinched his tired 

bones. He will bid his time contrary to some thoughts

We look at him through the wrong end of the long telescope of time 
far from giving in but what has bolstered his hopes. That no one can tell
He liked her but that was long ago before he went away. He is back 

determined to stake his claims

He feels confident. He is no more the struggling wimp those others 

referred to and laughed at before, unkempt and penniless. He has parked 

his Ferrari far down the street. He has made his pile that he is not to 

reveal. He is waiting patiently for a glimpse of her -  for a surprise.

But is she really married?
