He smiled at her and she smiled back at him with a beautiful smile.Pete was still holding her around her waist. He said, "Jan, when can we get married..."Her smile died as she replied, "We can't, Pete."He looked stunned. It was as if someone had hit him over the head with a club. "Why not? Darling, I love you. I'm single. I'm free to marry. You're a Miss, so you're single, too. I don't care if you have been divorced or ... or anything. I just want to marry you." Suddenly his face fell. "Of. You might as well. That's what I'm going to tell him, and who do you think he'll believe? Me, or a little sissyboy in a pink dress?" "I won't do it!" I shouted. "You can't make me!"

I'll tell them all to bring their cameras. Pictures of you all over school, is that what you want?" My mom left, and I sat down.

"Talcontrol". Perfect. That was the name he gave. The thoughts and anticipation was almost too much.Kathy had a beautiful dining room and we enjoyed our meal with another bottle of wine and more small talk. When we were done Kathy and Henry cleared the table and went into the kitchen with things while Linda and I went into the room with so many awesome new memories of a few hours ago. Linda put on some soft music and then joined me on the sofa."So what do you think," Linda turned to me."About what?" I asked."Henry!" she said conspiratorially.
