Chapter 10

When you believe that an evening could not get any more perfect, you should allow it to end and just go home. Somehow we had reached our zenith and started down again and that made the events which followed no less terrible, but possibly a trace more explainable.

The mood remained exuberant until the early morning hours. After Margaret and Heather had buried the hatchet after 47 years, there was additional reason to fully celebrate the evening. Not that we needed the reconciliation on top of everything else. But the family saw it as a lucky coincidence that the two had settled their differences on this very day.

After all the bustling about, I allowed myself a cocktail at the bar with Mitch. We came together, pleased to have coped so well this day, and would have gone home satisfied.

Well, it could have gone that way. One uses the subjunctive in this case because what happened was not wished for, planned, or desired. Before my glass reached my mouth, I heard a loud voice behind me call Mitch's name.

Surprised, I looked at Mitch, whose eyes were unusually large, and then looked over my shoulder. A good-looking brunette, approximately in her mid-twenties, was heading for us as she frantically waved her arm to get our attention.

As I waited spellbound to see what this person was intending, Mitch walked past me and greeted her by seizing her arm.

"What are you doing here?" I heard him say.

"Ow, you're hurting me," the slender figure retorted, as her stricken doe-eyes looked on.

"Once more, Samantha. What are you doing here?" Mitch persisted, his eyes flashing. The saying if looks could kill was not just an empty phrase in this case. In fact, you would expect that this woman could fall down dead at any minute.

Hey, wait a minute! What had he just called her? Did I hear right? It couldn't be. Or could it? Would she actually dare to show up here? That bordered on madness.

"I told you that I had to talk to you," she answered with less sweetness.

"Then say what you have to say and go."

"Who's that at the bar? Is she your latest? You haven't left yourself a lot of time to get over me. Or had you already started a relationship when we were still together?"

"You can shut your mouth and head for the door you just came in."

"And if I don't? What then? Are you going to pull me over your knee and spank me?"

"Samantha, that's enough. Leave before I forget myself and I say or do things I might regret."

"Hmm, let me think. Actually, I think it's rather nice here. Maybe I'll chat a little with your girlfriend," she threw me a significant look and made a move towards me.

"Damn it, Samantha. That is not my girlfriend. Stacy and I have an agreement. Nothing more."

My blood ran cold at his words. They echoed in my head and painfully struck my temples without warning. Unbelievable agony gripped my body, as if somebody had stabbed my heart with a knife and twisted it in the wound with relish.
