She said thanks and held the hem of her dress out a little at each side as she did a slow graceful pirouette. She glowed. There was no other word for... it. Then I whispered that she was way overdressed. I was wearing cut-off jeans, sandals and a Deadhead tee shirt. She laughed and whispered back that Jeff had said the exact same thing earlier.My wife then grabbed Jeff by the hand and led him over to the bar as she told me to finish my game and join them. I told her that Pat and I owned the table. Youre a god-send, Phillip. Im sorry. I never thought to set my alarm. You have no reason to apologize. I was the one here at the butt-crack of dawn. Lets eat, then haul ass. The entire day was spent tearing though each spreadsheet and matrix, revisiting quotes and estimates, and reading every communication on the project. It was Nora who spotted the one factor that had been overlooked. As she waved her find, Phillip jumped up and spun her around. Youre an angel! You probably just saved my. She paid the bill and took the cash memo. “Finished…let’s go.” I was happy that she took much less time than I had expected. Usually, she would bargain with the salesman for hours; a habit of my sister which I find very irritating. “Just a second…” She held my arm. “You wait here. I’ll be back soon.”I stayed there, watching her go to another counter, and began talking to the salesgirl. The salesgirl took some small cartons from the shelves and placed them on the counter. One by one, she opened. I solved the problem, I hoped, by using the belt itself as one conductor, and hand making a stainless wire for the other. This was inserted into a tiny, liquid proof (I hoped) connector next to the hole. Lastly, a plug made to fit into the hole, then rotate into place like a bottle cap, was installed. At the back of the little round plate was an eye for a small padlock, and a matching eye on the belt. I locked it.I stood back and looked. It had the overall appearance of a normal chastity.
