I told her that a delivery was coming for Sue after she went to lunch. She reminded me that "the girls" went to lunch at twelve. I told her to do everything she needed to do so they actually left at twelve. She asked why and I said the delivery was important in that I wanted it seen by as many people as possible before Sue saw it. I told her that another woman would be coming into the office to collect a $500 prize. She was to read the card and then meet the prize committee just outside the building for pictures. I had to tell Marge that the woman was the fiancé of the man Sue had been screwing. She gave me her condolences. I offered Marge $20 for every person who read the card before Sue did. She said that sounded like she could make some good money. I promised her cash. I gave her my cell number and told her to call me when Sue and company left for lunch.I called the florist and said not to deliver until I called back. He said OK. I drove downtown and parked nea

As we drove to the airport I made another call. Actually, I had Marge make the call and hand me the phone."John, do you like my car?""Are you giving me your car?" His voice sounded shocked. "Yup. It will be in lot A at LAX. You know where I keep the hide-a-key. We can do paperwork in a couple days. The parking ticket will be in the glove box.""Ok, man. Thanks. Where are you going?""We're going to Seattle today. After that I'm not sure.""We?""I have hired a business advisor. She is traveling with me.""Oh. Well, have a good trip."We parked the car and took a bus to terminal seven, United. We boarded first and were served beverages before take-off. Marge sat as close to me as the first class seats allowed.In Seattle we checked into a very nice hotel and went shopping. I bought a nice camera and as we wandered around the city I took pictures or asked people to take pictures of Mar

"I'm Abigail. Abigail Melissa Kensington.""Would you please sit down?" I pointed at the couch. She sat, wrapping the robe around her."Do you have other clothes in the car? That dress won't dry for hours.""No. I wasn't coming for a visit. I was headed for Lake Arrowhead and got lost. I'm supposed to be at a party." The frustration she felt was evident in her voice. It wasn't that she blamed me for any of her bad day. I was just handy."You're sixty miles from Arrowhead.""I know that now! The woman at the diner told me how to get there but in the rain I made a wrong turn and ended up here.""Now that you are here, you have decisions to make.""Oh?""You can choose to stay here with me or you can get back in your car and wait out the storm there. Staying with me gives you the opportunity to make another choice. You can rent my bedroom and sleep there by yourself or we can share the bed. If you choose sharing the bed you get to make another choice, with sex or without.""I don't even

"I spent lots of time thinking about the world I want to live in. I thought about why people keep doing things that don't serve them or anyone else. I thought about how I wanted to live the rest of my life.""Do you live in the world as you want it to be?""I'm doing what I can to have that world evolve into being. The book I just gave you is one way.""Giving me a book helps change the world?""If you read it you may choose to make some changes to your life. You may even give a copy of the book to someone as a gift. They may read it and they may make some changes. Poco a poco changes happen.""You are a strange man.""Thank you. You are a smart and beautiful woman. In the not too distant future I'm going to want some food. I'll prepare us some lunch and I'd like your input about what you'd like. Feel free to look around the kitchen and let me know what you'd like."I went back to working at the computer. A

"There is no if. I'll be back.""There's something you ought to know about me, in case you haven't guessed.""Let me guess. You wrote the book I've been reading."I nodded."Let me tell you something I lied about earlier. I wasn't on my way to Lake Arrowhead. I was on my way here to meet you. The book I pulled off the shelf I ordered from Amazon last Thursday. I read an article of yours on a blog and it said you lived up here.""Did your car get stuck?""Yes! And the roof wouldn't go up fast enough and I got soaked. I let myself turn into the bitch and almost ruined everything.""I'm glad you came to visit.""Forgive me?""Promise you won't lie to me again?""Yes. I promise.""Then you're forgiven.""One more thing. I have clothes in a suitcase in the trunk of my car.""I like how you've dressed since you arrived."&n
