By now, Debi Mazur, Jennifer Grey, and a few of the tour dancers are also in the room, standing near the couch, but Warren makes me feel as if he and I were the only people there.

I am totally won over, sucked into the maelstrom of his irresistible persona, instantly under the sway of his lethal charm, and I’ve only known him for about ten minutes.

Warren’s potent spell over me does momentarily weaken when—on our second meeting—he again asks me similar questions about my sexuality.

And on our third. And on our fourth. I am left with the strong impression either that Warren is obsessed by homosexuality, or else that asking so many questions about it is simply his tactic for putting me at ease, and he is just being charming to me because—in the eventuality that I become his brother-in-law—he wants me on his side.

Back to our first meeting chez Warren. Dinner conversation is light; Warren drinks little. His chef serves us run-of-the-mill California cuisine. Madonna, in a short black skirt and black top, sits next to Warren, but isn’t the least bit kittenish and definitely doesn’t cling to him.

“Wa-a-ren Batey,” she whines halfway through dinner, “I’m getting bored.”

Of course she is. Warren has been expounding on his friend Senator Gary Hart’s chance of making it to the White House, and my sister always gets bored unless the conversation centers on her, her next tour, or her next album.

Warren, however, isn’t the least bit insulted. Instead, he smiles indulgently. I can tell he’s amused by Madonna, but that their relationship is more father and daughter than highly passionate fling. Throughout dinner, they rarely touch. In all the subsequent times the three of us are together, I never see Warren and Madonna kiss or cuddle or even hold hands.

Chocolate mousse is served. My sister wolfs it down, stands up, announces,

“I’m done,” and then walks out of the dining room.

I am transported back to Monopoly. I am nine, she is eleven. I succeed in buying Park Place, but because I am not yet aware of the natural scheme of things in my little world, I refuse to relinquish it to her. Now I’m going to win, and I’m glad.

“I’m done,” my sister declares, throws her pawn—always the top hat, whereas I always get the iron—onto the board, and flounces out of the room.

The game instantly ends.
