Fay woke with a start, and she looked around frantically. Frank was
no longer on the couch. She was curled up alone. Her mind raced; Where was
he? Was he with Janet? No, he loved her. Or did he? Maybe Janet came over!
No, he wouldn't let her in.. Would he?
She didn't have much longer to wonder, as Frank entered the room with a plate of eggs, bacon, and a pancake. He smiled grandly, "Good morning, Sunshine!"
She sighed relief, "Good morning, thank God."
He gave her a questioning glance as he set the plate on her lap, "Thank God? What's up?"
He sat next to her as she explained, "I had a crazy dream last night.. Er.. Make that a nightmare. I dreamed that Janet came into your- our bed and seduced you.. I just went on sleeping!"
His eyes widened, "Really? I had the same dream.. Forget it. It's all water under the bridge, darling.. Nothing will ever come between us.." She smiled. He nodded at her plate, "Eat up."
She gave him a coy look, "This is the same person that says he has no idea what the first thing about cooking is?"
He shrugged, "I don't consider this cooking.. I'm sure I over-fried everything, if that's possible."
She scooped a piece of egg into her mouth and swallowed. Frank held his breath. She praised, "Delicious! We need to get you a chef's hat."
Then, there was a knock at the door. Frank stood and hurried to the door. Fay noted his white pants and blue t-shirt. His long brown hair bobbed as he walked, and she sighed in contentment. She couldn't dream of a nicer, more considerate, beautiful husband.
The door opened, and Columbia stood on the threshold, "Hey, Frank!"
Frank smiled, "Col! Nice morning, hmm?"
She nodded, "You bet! I know something that's going to make it even nicer for both you and Fay!"
Frank led her inside as Fay asked, "What is it, Col?"
Columbia was bursting, "Denton is appointing the two of you the honor of being Couple of the Year!"
Frank and Fay exchanged surprised glances. Fay commented, "Wow.. So what now?"
Columbia clasped her hands together, "Well, you get a dinner in your honor, and then you go on a week long vacation! The vacation spot is actually in Denton. It's a very nice hotel, with a pool and a buffet!"
Frank was taken aback, "Well, well. I suppose this is something to look forwa-"
Fay suddenly lurched forward, "Ow!"
Frank jumped after her, just catching her before she slipped off of the couch. He asked, panicky, "Are you all right?"
Fay said slowly, "Frank, I think we need to go to the hospital.. now."
Columbia took only a moment to say, "I'll drive."
She didn't have much longer to wonder, as Frank entered the room with a plate of eggs, bacon, and a pancake. He smiled grandly, "Good morning, Sunshine!"
She sighed relief, "Good morning, thank God."
