The doorbell startled Rita and Graham. They had fallen into a light sleep and lost track of time. Graham rolled over and peered at the clock on the nightstand. It was two in the afternoon, and time was slipping away fast. Rita would be boarding a plane back to Seattle in less than twenty-four hours.

It must be the parcel postman at the door, Graham thought, trotting toward the front door to silence the menacing sound of the doorbell. Graham was bathed in the scent of a lover’s potion, his face glistened with the sweat from the inferno he had found himself. In his haste to get to the door, Graham was clad only in his blue silk pajama bottom with his upper body exposed to the world—a forest of ashen bushes. His bare feet marked the path—the path of his eventual return to the woman who lay waiting for him in all her splendor.

Graham jerked on the doorknob, realizing he needed to unlatch it first. He had made sure the door was secured this time so as not to have a nasty replay of events like the Sunday Deborah and Liz had barged in. He had almost lost Rita that day, and to ensure it wouldn’t happen again, Graham took the liberty of having the locks changed without the girls’ knowledge. After all, it was his home, and if their keys didn’t work, they had another place they could go. However, neither Deborah nor Liz had been back to the house since that day. Nevertheless, Graham was taking no chances.

“Just a minute,” Graham shouted through the door, finally unlocking the last lock, anxious for all the commotion to be over. So anxious was Graham that he never thought to peer out the window to get a look at his visitor.

With the last lock unlatched, Graham swiftly pulled the door open to find a well-coiffed woman in her mid-fifties standing on his porch. Her dark auburn hair was cut short and tapered in the back. Several small rows of precision curls circled the small of her head while crisp, starched, and neatly cut bangs hung an inch above her eyes. Two-carat diamond studs sparkled from the lobes of each ear only to enhance the barber’s meticulous handiwork.

Graham’s eyes fell the length of the woman who wore a slinky black velvet dress with shoes that were a perfect complement. Perfect breasts rose and fell and tugged at the bodice of her dress while just enough material was allotted to accommodate her dangerous, ample hips. A perfect “ten,” Graham thought, if he was judging a beauty pageant. And rounding out the perfect wardrobe was a small, black designer bag that hung from her shoulders.

Her face was beautiful—straight from the pages of Essence magazine’s Health and Beauty section. Rich earth colors complemented her eyes with a twinge of reddish-brown blush highlighting her cheekbone—defining features that had once been lost on her. A black eyeliner pencil was used on the base of her eyelids to make her features stand out and her face round and full.
