CHAPTER EIGHT

That evening Wilson waited with some anticipation, but his anxiety didn’t last long. At 7:20 the phone rang.
“Hello.”
“It’s Jean. I thought about it all afternoon. I’m ready to do it, to be your temporary wife. Do we need a ceremony?”
Wilson chuckled. “The only ceremony will be at the doctor’s office. Don’t quit your job quite yet, but can you take half a day off Tuesday? I’ll make the appointment Monday and call you.”
“That should be OK, kind sir. Here’s my phone number.” She gave it to him, and then became unexpectedly a bit kittenish. “And Wilson?” she said.
“Yes?”
“I probably would have slept with you anyway if you had just asked. But this is much, much better. It’s a real adventure.”
“I’m extremely happy you feel that way. It really is something exciting to look forward to for me also. I’m very lucky to have met you.”
“So long for now, temporary wife. I’ll call Monday.”
Evidently both of them had been reluctant to hang up. This was looking better than he could have imagined just a week ago.
Monday morning’s job: Dr. John Klein, who was a younger friend of Bill Goldberg’s, would now have to be primed about what to look for in his examination.
