We just christened it together, much better than any champagne bottle hitting it and making a mess. The RED VIXEN doesn’t need any more dents in it. I decided to name our car after you, you little red head vixen." “You can be so sweet, do you know that, sweetheart,” Kate replied putting her head on his chest and just hugging him for all she was worth, “I made you Liverwurst and onion on rye with tomato basil soup; did you eat the chicken salad sandwiches I sent with you this morning?” “Yes, they were delicious.” “You say that about everything I make for you.” “I only speak the truth, Katherine; you spoil me.” “You deserve to be spoiled.

He bowed to her at the waist with a flourish, “Your cute ponytail is perfect. The most elegant and costly ball gown couldn’t do you justice to how you look in the honest coveralls you are now wearing.” Jim won Katherine over with more hugs and kisses on her grease smudged face. Kate conceded to herself that at one time this was something she would never dream of doing; going out in public unless immaculately dressed and coiffed, until now, until Jim, her charming troll who stole her heart for happily ever after. Kate insisted she should drive the RED VIXEN to get a full tank of gas and then to the semi-refined establishment of pretty good dining, “Mama Nancy’s”.
