Later she walked into her apartment and thought, If anyone saw me like this, they’d know. She flumped down on her sofa, sinking into the cushions, the happy goofy smile still in place. And sighed contentedly.

“I love you, Philip Brooks,” she said aloud. After a moment she began to sort through her mail with limp, pleasure-weakened fingers, letting unwanted envelopes fall like withered leaves onto the carpet after a cursory glance at the return address.

They were coming to the Cougar Club on Jenny’s recommendation to see the handsomest man in the world take off his clothes.
