It was finally time.That special Thursday that we’d been aiming for ever since Sam asked me to be on the ticket with him had mercifully arrived. The...day started with a flurry of meetings that gave way to a series of press interviews. My last scheduled interview was with Summer. She looked positively edible in a summer-weight peasant dress that no peasant could ever have afforded. Her golden hair was piled on her head in what looked like a haphazard fashion, just like that pivotal night on the. She took a shower both morn and night with a peculiar contraption that projected warm water with significant force. It was driven by a concealed hand pump that required the services of four strong men. The ensuing deluge seemed to me to surpass any waterfall I have ever seen. I would have drowned or been crushed by the weight of water had I been exposed to Petrova’s shower. Perhaps as a result of these twice-daily ablutions the Lady Petrova was sweet smelling. She used no perfume but that. I guess I got a little carried away with the teasing." That is very kind of you Bear, I'll see you at 7:00"Bear rang the doorbell at exactly 7:00. When Sunny opened the door he almost swallowed his tongue. She was wearing an Emerald green silk dress with spaghetti straps and an asymmetrical hem. The color was perfect with her red hair and deep blue eyes."My God Sunny, you look gorgeous." Thank you kind sir."Shall we go."They arrived at the University Club at 7:20 and Bear handed the keys over. He talked about them going to marriage counseling and I thought that might be an option for Jackie and me as well.By the time we both walked out of there I felt better than I had since I listened to that phone call. Terry made a lot of sense to me and I was about eighty percent sure I was going to go back home and give my marriage another chance.The next morning I heard my secretary's voice across the intercom telling me my mother was on the phone. Great, I thought, she's going to ask me what.
