TWENTY-TWO

“But you can at least try to eat healthier, Willie.”

Portelain and Sylvia Johnson had decided at the end of the day to have dinner together. He’d suggested a steak house; he was in the mood for a porterhouse and a baked potato with plenty of sour cream. Sylvia, while always enjoying a good steak, was aware of what the doctors had told Willie about the need to change his eating habits, and convinced him to try Bistro Med, a small, popular restaurant on M Street that featured “Mediterranean” food, much of it low calorie.

“You don’t need a beer, Willie,” she said. “Have a glass of red wine. It’s good for you. The French live a long time.”

“I’m not the wine type,” he protested, holding up a hand with his pinky extended.

“There is no such thing as a wine type, Willie,” she said, and ordered a bottle of inexpensive Cabernet from the waitress.

“Nice spot,” he said, looking around the small, functionally furnished and decorated room.

“It’s good food,” she said. “How are you feeling?”

“Feel good—only, this body of mine is telling me it needs nourishment.”

“The food here is nourishing,” she said.

“Filling, too?”

“If you eat enough of it.”

“So,” he said after the wine had been poured and he’d clinked his glass against hers, “what’s your take on those two clowns this afternoon?”
