December 7, 1998

 

The soles of her feet were warming by the fire.  A fresh martini quietly etched a perfect circle on the rich mahogany end table.  I was sent to fetch the latest J. Peterman catalog.  Would she be there when I returned?

I wondered.  Quickly, I fastened my mailing address to the leg of the pigeon.  “Off with you,” I whispered, returning only to discover a missing olive.
