Hi Professor Mite,

So I’m in your eng. comp. class. 3rd period? Anyway I was reading US Magazine and guess who I saw? I literally had a heart attack when I spied my fav teacher’s face. J Your girlfriend’s very pretty. Do you want me to save my copy for you?

Laurie was stretched out on the mattress wearing a pink nightgown trimmed in marabou. She favored theatrical nightwear and had even bought Aaron a piped pair of pajamas and a paisley robe with lapels. The ensemble looked like it belonged in the costume room of a Noël Coward production. (Aaron had always slept in a t-shirt and boxers but he frequently wore the pajamas to please Laurie, marveling that they had a breast pocket.)

She was so engrossed in a rom-com she didn’t notice Aaron until he climbed into bed. He could tell it was a rom-com, because there was a falling-in-love montage of characters walking in the rain, feeding each other brownies, and knocking over furniture while passionately kissing.

She turned the TV off. “Sorry. Wouldn’t want you to catch chick-flick cooties.”

“Have you heard of a periodical called U.S. Magazine?” he said.

“U.S. as in United States?”

“Maybe. Supposedly you and I were in it.”

“Oh. Us Magazine.”

“Is it true? Do we appear in this publication?”

Laurie bit her bottom lip. “How did you know about Us?”

“A student, who should have been reading something loftier, saw it. Were we in it or not?”

“Remember when that photographer caught us coming out of the Strand?”

On their recent trip to New York the only time Aaron and Laurie were able to spend together was a quick trip to the iconic bookstore the Strand, and, yes, Aaron did remember the flash of a photographer’s camera as they left the bookstore.

“May I see a copy, please?” Aaron said.

“I’m not sure if I have that one.”

Aaron knew W&W had been sending her packages every week with all the publicity she had received. A thick envelope arrived yesterday.

“Please let me see it or I’ll get it myself.”

“Okay,” Laurie said reluctantly. She slipped out of bed and returned a moment later with a glossy magazine in hand. “It’s a lot of nonsense.”

The magazine was a supermarket tabloid, and a Post-it stuck out of the page. Aaron turned the slick pages until he came across a photograph of Laurie in a white dress, her teeth and hair almost as bright as the garment. Aaron was at her side.
