Madeline had always wanted a place on a lake so I had found the property on Lake Chaffee, bought it and surprised her with it on our fifth anniversary... She loved that cottage and went up there every chance she got. I kept meaning to put her name on the title, but never got around to it. I was forever getting calls from realtors telling me there was someone interested and asking me if I was interested in selling. I called one of them and put it on the market and I was not surprised when he. Now I put on a new tie and got a compliment. A few weeksago I would have snapped off a sarcastic reply. Something had changedand I liked it. Maybe I should be seeing Dr. Himmel. I laughed at mythoughts. Sure Sam, stop seeing a therapist when you're depressed andstart again when you're happy. I shrugged and got to work.I decided to walk home to get some exercise and stopped at a shop onMadison Avenue and looked in the window. There was an ivory linensuit. Maybe if I lost weight I would buy. Lee?" Oh, sometimes at home, usually not here." I've just wondered how it would look down," I said and she reached back and took it down and shook her head."Do you always wear your glasses?" I added and she took them off, telling me that they were for reading and close-up work and didn't wear them for driving or watching television."You really look nice like this, you should wear your hair down more often, it's a nice look," I told her and decided to let her get back to work and soon left her. Or so I thought. Lizzy started school that fall and worked a lot less. She still made time to drop by my office several times a week and we still chatted. One night she told me about a frat party she went to and how she had gone down on two different guys she met that night. I was shocked. We had teased a little and made sexual jokes, but before then, she had never told me anything that explicit involving her. She sat back and smiled after she said it, waiting to guage my reaction. As I looked.
