Later, in the motel room, the headboard shook violently, much the way Yaquita's brass headboard always shook in her room at the cantina. A white Navy uniform lay on the worn carpet, tangled with a fancy black evening dress. Pantyhose dangled from the television antenna, and somehow one black high-heeled shoe hung from the curtain rod.

The headboard bumped against the wall in a real tango beat. "Oh, I can't wait to tell my father," Joan gasped. "He'll be so happy about this."

"What?" Pedrito said. The headboard stopped shaking. Why would she want to tell the admiral? Most fathers came after Pedrito with shotguns when they found out what he had done with their daughters. "What are you going to tell him?"

"Why, that I've changed my mind. We can get married within the month! This is the opportunity he's been waiting for.

Just think of the big wedding he can throw us I just hope he doesn't rent that officers' club."

"Married?" Pedrito slapped his forehead. "Ai! Is that all you women can think of?"

"I read it in a story somewhere." She raised her eyebrows at him. Her blue eyes shone with languid satisfaction. "Isn't that how it's supposed to be? I'm so tired of being intelligent, independent and my own woman. A husband is all I need."

She snuggled up next to him, and Pedrito looked frantically around the room, wondering how he was ever going to escape from this dangerous situation.
