My wife and I were visiting her sister and brother-in-law in Jamestown. We went with them to rent a movie for the evening's entertainment. The parking lot of the movie rental store in that hilly little town was a paved hollow.
Chuck, our host parked the car by heading it into a concrete porch-like structure, the floor of which was higher than the top of the car. The front door of the store was at that level and access was by two long foot-ramps at the sides starting at the parking lot.
I stayed in the car while the other three went in to select and rent a movie. From the front seat of the car, I could see the edge of the porch and a rail above me. After a while a woman's figure appeared at the rail, above me. The edge of the porch prevented my seeing her legs below the knees and the upper edge of the windshield hid her face from me.
At that time I was still trying to heed the warning, "When a man looketh at a woman to lust after her, he has committed adultery already in his heart." I sat there for some minutes conflicted. I felt a little guilty about a definite attraction to the female figure above me. I realized that I had looked too long. But after a while the figure moved away from the rail and I could see the lovely face of my dear wife!
Amusement and relief from guilt were added to the mix of my feelings. And when I told my wife, she had to sort out her feelings too. I think that she was glad that after thirty years of marriage, I was still attracted to her, but she didn't know how to feel about my being attracted to her when I might have thought she was somebody else. movie
