Part 26

It was the start of the Easter weekend. Holy Thursday and Caroline had found a lovely

old church to attend the services that night, on Good Friday morning and the joyful celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Easter with its theme of willing sacrifice always moved her to tears. John didn't share her faith. Years of Esther's fierce loveless deity had put him off completely.

Caroline never tried to push her beliefs onto anyone but the love her faith was based on shone through clearly and John was happy to support her in it.

Caroline became considerably contemplative during this time and in bed wanted simply to be held close feeling John's skin against hers.

John who had always maintained that sex was only 1 of the ways of making love was perfectly happy to oblige her.

On Saturday morning Dorothy and Jean Luc invited John and Caroline to come out with them that evening.

The walled medieval city of Carcassonne was flood lit at night and many people visited to walk around and take in the magical atmosphere. 'You'll enjoy it I'm sure'. Dorothy told them as they thanked her and accepted.

They went into the nearby town to do some shopping and John came up with the idea of inviting Dorothy and Jean Luc to join them for Easter Day lunch. He rang them on his mobile and smiled at Caroline with a nod as they said yes.

They got a chicken, asparagus and new potatoes and for dessert Cherry Mille Feuilles

( layers of puff pastry with cream and fruit).

Advised of the need for sensible foot wear ( cobbled streets), Caroline wore her beloved Doc Martens and was glad she had. There was so much to see in the picturesque old city that there was a lot of walking to be done, including the walls.

It was all very romantic and John couldn't resist any opportunity to pull Caroline into a dark corner for a brief but heartfelt embrace.

After their marathon session on Wednesday /Thursday , they had decided to limit their lovemaking to kisses and cuddles for a few nights.

This was something they did regularly, having found it resulted in some truly spectacular snogging . There was also the added bonus of passion in volcanic proportions when they fell on each other again.

Caroline was all a tremble with anticipation of a promise she was on since Thursday morning. After they had decided on abstaining for a few days, John had run a hand lingeringly across her bottom and whispered into her ear. 'Rest while you can. I've got big plans for you on Monday......'.

They stopped at a bar for a drink and to watch the night time bustle of the old city.

John was very enthusiastic and asked Caroline if she, like him would like to see it again by day. Caroline did.

Jean Luc who had lived in the area all his life ( except for university) had lots of suggestions for places to see.

'May I suggest Le Musee Memoires du Moyen-Age, the Chateau Comtal, Le Basilique Saint-Nazaire and the ramparts of the walls'. He knew of good places to eat too.

'La Rotonde is popular with local people. There is both a restaurant and a brasserie there.

I also recommend it'.
