... wine just as Julie came over to the table and said the restaurant was ready to close. “ Let’s go for a walk,” Emily said. “It’s a warm evening and I’m enjoying getting to know you.” “ Good idea,” Orrin said, surprised. He sensed her fascination with him and quickly emptied the cookie jar without counting, stuffed the money in his pocket, picked up his guitar case and joined Emily who was waiting for him at the front door. It was late and the streets were empty. They walked down the street for several blocks, then through the park until they sat on a bench overlooking a pond. Orrin couldn’t believe he was actually sitting there with the most beautiful woman he had ever known. He could tell by the way she sat next to him with her arm touching his that something special was growing between them. She picked up his right hand and looked at his long fingernails, then lifted his hand, brought it to her lips and kissed it. Without saying the words, Orrin knew she was falling in love with him.

When he put his guitar case down, Emily came over to him. “I bet you’re wondering about my living in such a fancy apartment, aren’t you?” “ Yes, I am. This is quite a place.” “ My father is quite wealthy and I’m kind of a daddy’s little girl, so this is a gift. He pays for the apartment and my job lets me pay for the utilities. I bought a lot of the furniture on my credit card, but some of it’s from our summer home at the shore.” Orrin suddenly realized that he might be out of his league with a woman like Emily who was from a wealthy family.
