Widow Townsend’s Visitor

"Widow Townsend's Visitor" opens on a cozy Virginia inn where Maria Townsend, seven years a widow, sits alone by the fire on a winter's night. On a whim, she tosses apple peel over her shoulder — an old courtship charm — and it curls into the letter S. Minutes later, a storm-soaked stranger knocks at her door. He settles into her late husband's chair, wears his dressing-gown, and begins trading stories of a mutual acquaintance: a wandering man named Sam Payson, who never stopped loving the woman who let him go.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
