Tommy and Gina’s Story: One Wild Night

(Reader’s, please fill in some of the blanks we left for you):

As we left town, Gina was letting the warm June air from the black sedan’s open window tussle her hair around in the back seat. I remember her swiping it away from her eyes as if it was involuntary. Her hair was a little longer now and hung below her eyebrows. She didn’t look tired, but I think she could have used a cup of tea. I asked her if we should stop for one but she said ‘No…I feel great, Tommy. Just feeling a little jet lagged, but I actually feel great’.

We needed this night together as it’s been a crazy last quarter and her last vacation to the Bahamas was postponed due to snow. She really deserved a break so instead, she had to take a short, solo two day trip to South Beach and just got home late last night.

She said ‘it’s beautiful out – but not nearly as hot as Miami- we should open the roof once we get on the highway because this breezy window will mess me all up’. Once we got on the interstate I saw that she was correct. As she closed her window and I opened the roof, Gina said ’This is so nice to get out and see a show together. It’s like we are back in our single days again’. I agreed and told her that she even looks like that young, single girl I met 18 years ago. ’You look so young and hot Gina. That dress is unbelievable. I just hope you don’t run into any people from your company because they wouldn’t understand that dress!’ Gina said ‘I don’t care what they think. You asked me to get dressed up in club wear tonight to show off my tan and I want to look good for you, Tommy’. She winked a little wink as she made sure her knees were together and the hem of her dress wasn‘t hiked up too high. Girls do that. A lot.
