Elaine ran a brush through her long curly hair and smiled at the reflection in her bedroom mirror.
"Hellloooooo, Gorgeous!"
She smoothed her dress, making sure she looked absolutely perfect. She didn't want so much as a wrinkle to appear. Not for this visit.
Excitedly she ran out of the house and hailed a taxi. "I need to go to West 69th Street" she told the driver.
As they headed toward David Puddy's apartment, Elaine's nervousness grew. What would she say? She missed him so much and they had been apart for far too long.
She would never break up with him again.
Finally they arrived at the tall brick building. Elaine paid the driver and got out of the taxi. Then she noticed the taxi driver looking her up and down.
"Excuse me? What are you doing?" she asked.
"You're a very pretty lady!" The taxi driver said.
Elaine smiled at the scruffy looking driver. "Oh... well..." Casually she tossed her head, swinging her dark mane around her neck.
"Say... what are you doing tomorrow night?" the driver asked.
Elaine's stomach churned at the thought of being near this man, so she giggled sweetly. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
Angrily, the driver took off, as a gust of wind ruffled her hair.
"JERK!" she yelled as the taxi grew smaller and smaller in the distance.
She walked to the front of the brick building and pulled open the heavy door. The lobby was exactly as she remembered it; mahogany wood panels and plush chairs.
Suddenly she couldn't wait to see David.
