THEN ONE MONDAY afternoon, when the storm the weather forecasters were so excited about kept threatening, but refused to hit and cool everybody down, Parker asked what Sissy was wearing.

Her mother-in-law’s old torn chenille bathrobe covered in dog hairs was the truth, but she couldn’t tell him that. She described an outfit she’d seen in a Rita Hayworth movie. The next day he asked again.

“Black lace.”

“Over what?”

“Over me, sugar, what do you think?”

She heard an intake of air. “Can you see through it?”

“You can if you look.”

The iron ring he was holding slowly burned a hole though his glove, but he didn’t even feel it. “Is that all?”

“Of course not. What kind of a girl do you think I am?” A long pause. “I’m also wearing perfume.” She heard a groan that turned into a high-pitched moan. And when she asked, “You want to know where I smell the best?” the groan was silently echoed up the line, because Calvin Merkin had tapped in to listen.

At first Calvin just told one of the other linemen. But he told a friend who told a friend and by Thursday even the operators knew about it.

Parker called at irregular times, but as soon as he did the word went out and it became impossible to raise directory assistance or make a long distance call. The Sissy and Parker Show became the telephone company’s favorite soap opera.
