Clarence Street was a block behind the main street comprised of small wood houses, the vast majority of which were tidy and well presented. Gene glanced at the number of the house where Dee’s records indicated she lived. A part of her hoped she wasn’t home since it was, after all, only six fifteen. She’d tried to find Dee at work, but the woman was like a ghost. Gene could have called, she guessed, but that was the coward’s way out and Dee didn’t deserve that. The other more dominant part of her wanted desperately to see Dee and explain in person why she had to cancel their dinner date. Date. The word swirled around in her head and made her giddy. A horn blasted behind her and she realized she had slowed to a snail’s pace. She picked up speed, but only slightly, as number 60 must only be a few yards away.

There it was: a nice-looking house with white shutters on the windows and a well-trimmed lawn in the front. Unsure if it was appropriate to go up the drive, she stopped at the curb alongside the house. Taking a deep breath, she climbed out of her Buick sedan, smoothed her damp hands down her black chinos, and faced the house. Clenching her fingers, Gene wondered how at forty-three years old she was frightened of… of what exactly she didn’t know. Rejection maybe, ridicule perhaps, or just plain and simple fear of losing that chance of connecting with someone important. With determination she walked down the small drive and tapped on the door. As she stood there, faint strains of music could be heard. She didn’t know what it was, but it wasn’t unpleasant.

The door was thrust open and Dee stood there with an apron around her waist.

“Hey, you’re early. No problem, come inside, I was just about to put the main course in the oven.” She grinned, and Gene felt her heart go in two different directions, anticipation and dread.

“I am early, yes. Dee, I have to cancel.”
