After dinner, Stan and Shirley watched an old black-and-white movie on television. It wasn’t particularly interesting, but Stan objected to renting movies from video shops on the grounds that it was a waste of money when so much was available for free on TV. When the movie ended, Stan clicked off the TV with the remote control and turned toward Shirley.

“Shall we retire to your bedroom?”

“All right.”

They didn’t turn on the lights, but left the door open to let light shine in from the hall. While Shirley turned back the covers, Stan undressed, carefully folding his clothing and draping it across a chair. They took turns in the bathroom, then slid into bed next to each other.

“You are a beautiful woman, Shirley,” Stan told her as he turned on his side and pulled her against him.

This was nice, Shirley thought. Nice to be called beautiful, nice to be held. Nice to feel a warm male body.

“You’re still pleasantly slim,” Stan continued, running his arm over her back. “I really admire the way you haven’t let yourself get fat like so many other women your age.”

Well, that might not be the most romantic thing she’d ever heard, but it was a compliment. Shirley purred, “You feel good, too, Stan.”

He kissed her mouth. He kissed each of her breasts. He patted her crotch as if it were an obedient pet. He pulled away in order to slide on his condom.

Shirley took Stan in her arms and into her body. It wasn’t unpleasant. It didn’t hurt. But she felt disconnected. She caught herself looking over at the clock—she’d bet Stan wouldn’t take long.

He didn’t. Afterward, he hurried off to take a shower. Shirley lay there, remembering Justin, whose lovemaking had been masterful, ecstatic, sublime. He’d brought her to such extremes of joy she’d lain weeping in his arms afterward. Even Jimmy, her beau before Justin, Jimmy, who drank too much and had bad grammar and worse manners, Jimmy, who certainly had no sexual technique, Jimmy had still had a kind of primitive, physical, caveman appeal. He’d worn jeans and a studded black leather jacket—that had been as good as foreplay for Shirley. He’d been huge, strong, heavy, and vigorous, and when they were through making love, Shirley had felt wonderfully used up.

But Jimmy had left her with a pile of unpaid bills, riding off on his motorcycle at a moment’s notice and never looking back. And Justin had done much worse than that to her.

Shirley sighed. Stan came out of the bathroom, fully dressed. Shirley pulled on a robe and accompanied him to the door.

Stan put his hands on her shoulders and gazed affectionately down at her. “I know you want to have a little more fun, Shirley. I can sense that about you, you know. I’m a sensitive man. I had an idea in the shower. I know what we’ll do for the Fourth of July!” Stan looked very pleased with himself.

She couldn’t help it. She perked up. “What will we do?”

“I’ll bring over a jigsaw puzzle! A nice, complicated one, at least a thousand pieces.
