I've been in Istanbul, home, for 3 months..... and a familiar ennui is creeping into my psyche. It's that feeling of wanting to get away.... be one with nature and bathe in the wilderness. So, I get in the truck and start to drive. I have camping, fishing and survival gear always on the go.... and as the road leads me, a few hours later, I end up in Iznik Lake.

I order my meal and idly stare into the horizon. A couple is being seated in the table next to me. Being so close together, we can't escape eye contact, so I give them a mild smile and a cursory hello. The woman is gorgeous and the man looks oddly familiar.

Him: "I'm so glad you came here...", he's beaming!
Her: "Actually, there are many things I want to do here....... but I have to be back at the restaurant", she sighs.
Him: "We'll come again.... and bring B next time", he's excited!
Her: "And visit our olive tree, pick nuts and mushrooms...... get lost again and shack up in the hut".... she's blushing red.
Him: "Our Love Hut!" , he clarifies with a face-splitting smile!
I wonder what that story is about...... hmmm!!!
Her: "Let me not ruin the moment, but we have to leave soon....".
Him: "As you wish, Baby!"
------------------
The way he calls her "Baby" sounds like he's attained Nirvana!
I can't speak for her.... I fuckingmelt at the caressing, endearing, beguiling and seductive way he called her "Baby" .... Wow!
------------------
Her: "Baby?!" she's surprised at his words!
Oh but why?
Him: "My Love, My Life, My Beautiful Wife"..... he reaches for her hand and holds hers in his... so full of love!
