Heavens, I can’t wait!!”Henry pursed his lips, deep in thought for her words drifted in one ear and out the other. There were so many balls, galas... invites to this and that these days that to his mind they all merged into one unedifying mass of time wasted. He had more important things on his mind this night. He took another sip from his glass and waited for the moment when they would retire to their bedchambers later that evening.Prudence stood before the long mirror in their bedroom unpinning. Crystal looked at me again, but this time our eyes locked for a few seconds. She winked at me, blew me a kiss and went back to packing. I shook it off, thinking it was nothing. I made a few more trips to the truck, box by box until it was full. Kelly told Crystal and Beth that we would be back in a bit. We were going to unload the boxes and get lunch. We got their food order and left. As we got into the truck, I closed the door on my side and slid over to sit in the middle of the seat. Kelly. Oldport-New York-Tokyo is a looong journey. Well, the second leg is a long journey.Fortunately, our hosts had provided business class tickets. I pity the folks back in coach. I'm 6'2" and though reasonably slim I just don't fit in those economy seats. Add in the breadth of the Pacific Ocean and it's a pain, literally. Jenny is only about 5'5" but even she would be uncomfortable in economy. In fact, anybody who is too large to succeed as a jockey would be uncomfortable, in my opinion. I was. "And there's no way you can doubt my love for you, Tommy," I respond."I know; that's what makes me so happy," he replies.I give him a big hug, and then whisper kiddingly in his ear, "Have you become bored and lost interest in your exploration, already?"Bringing his hand down and giving me a light tap on the side of my butt cheek, he said, "Don't give up on me so easily, you sexy woman."Sexy woman? Never had I imagined myself being seen by anyone as a sexy woman. I thought I was just a scrawny.
