Marija Was Blatantly Alluring

Marija was blatantly alluring which is what attracted him in the first place. Her name was not exotic, but her attitude was. Her whimsical manners and masterful life steps were a joy to watch. There was a quirkiness about her that drew all of us in, even the women. She was a Romanian gypsy queen who danced with scarves And sparkled with silver shimmering spangles. Mesmerized, we watched her from every corner of the room. Who is she? My uncle Jim wanted to know, asking everyone. I knew then that his carousing days were over. She was masterful, I will give her that. A free standing, freewheeling, free spirit of a woman. Sensual, sexual, and seriously seductive. My uncle had been a lone wolf for nigh onto thirty years. We watched him that night, seeing the tremendous effect Marija had over him. Indicative of the effect she would have on him for the rest of his life actually.
