I have known Brenda for many years as a family friend. It started when a new family moved into the neighbourhood. I remember the first time I saw her was when the new family had come to the local family fete. Her parents were with her. She was eleven at the time and within months our families got friendly.
The following Christmas, Brenda and her family were invited to dinner. She had been sat next to me at the big meal time. She had three other siblings (she was the youngest and only girl after older boys). I began to like her a lot, but obviously not in a sexual way.
A few year
