Chapter 4: Hank and Lenore
The next day had come quickly, and Hank waited in the kitchen for Lenore to show up. This day was better than Hank planned, as Bill and Peggy were in Bill's front lawn doing yard work. Hank just had to wait for Lenore, and then he could put his plan into action.
Just then, Lenore showed up in her car. "Hello, Hank," she said. She was wearing a sexy, revealing black dress. Hank got very excited. Peggy had never excited him in such a way before. Hank wondered if he could make this more than just an attempt to get mad at Bill.
"Hello, Lenore," Hank said loudly. "You're looking very pretty today."
"Well, thanks, Hank. I always love a compliment," said Lenore.
Bill and Peggy shot angered looks at the two of them. "This is why I'm not with Lenore anymore, and this is why you're not with Hank anymore," Bill said.
"Gimme a hug, Hank!" Lenore said. Hank hugged her very hard. Then, he kissed her for a long time. Finally, Bill had enough of it.
"All right, that's it!" shouted Bill. "Peggy, we're through! Lenore, come over here and give your old man a hug!"
Lenore let go of Hank and drove off. "Wait! Lenore…" Bill called after her. He chased her car down Rainey Street, and was not seen for a while afterward.
"Oh, Hank, I'm sorry for leaving you," Peggy said. "But WHY did you hug that woman?" she snapped.
"To get you back," Hank said. Then, the two of them hugged and went back inside.
