Episode Ten - More Shower Fun
My phone rings Sunday afternoon a little after four o'clock. It's from a number I don't recognize and, though I typically let those calls go to voice mail, for some reason I decide to answer this one.
A young woman's voice on the other end says, "Hey, Dad. It's me... It's... it's Zoey."
Zoey is one of my twin daughters. We all call her by her initial... we pronounce it Zee. Her sister is Abigail... everyone calls her Abby. Or Abs. One is A, the other is Z... get it? My ex-wife, the Engineer, thought it was hilarious.
It's been more months than I can remember since I've spoken to either one of the girls. They don't call me... I don't call them. A destroyed marriage, and the acrimony that can result... on every side... is deep. And wide. And long-lasting.
"Hey!... Zee!" I replied cheerfully, and not falsely. But my mind is immediately off to the races, like it was when Kate showed up unexpectedly at my front door that morning after our initial shower encounter.
I check down the list: What's happened? Has there been an accident? What does Zoey want? Is she in trouble? Is her sister or her mother in trouble?
When Kate was standing in front of me all those weeks ago, I had to keep worried thoughts like these off my face. With Zoey, today on the phone, I just have to keep them out of my voice.
"So great to hear from you!," I say... again not falsely. "What's up?"
"Well," Zoey starts... and then she stops. Her next words come through, but clumsily.
"I'm in town," she starts again, "well, I WAS in town... like, this weekend. For this... this alumni meeting... gathering... soiree... thing...
"And I'm flying out tomorrow... flying home... tomorrow," she continues, stutteringly. "But I wondered... AND I wondered... if we could... maybe... if you have time... get together for... umm... in the morning, maybe... uh...for a coffee... or something... maybe?"
Writing the words down like this can't truly convey the awkwardness of her speech. It was a horrible, clumsy way to start a phone call. Especially from a daughter to her Dad. A Dad who she hasn't talked to for months.
Both of my daughters are whip-smart. Genius-level. Top grades every year. Full-ride scholarships to college but I still had to pay for it because my ex-wife's lawyer was better than mine was.
Zoey is the one, though, who is most easily influenced... especially by her mother. And that's who my ex-wife, Cynthia, chose to be the catalyst in the dissolution of our family. I still don't know the story that Cynthia told Zoey about me to explain the divorce. It really doesn't matter. But whatever it was, Zoey bought it hook, line and sinker. And then Zoey spread the we-have-to-hate-dad-now poison to Abby.
Still... I need to know if something is wrong. And, I need to see if Kate has sent me her signal about tomorrow yet.
"Zee," I say into the phone, "I *might* have a meeting on my calendar for the morning. Hang on... I have to walk upstairs to check."
I keep the phone to my ear as I go up the stairs and, rather than going into my office and my computer, I head straight to the window in my bonus room. It's the window that looks between my house and Kate's house, and into the windows of Kate's bonus room. Those windows are where Kate gives me the signal each Sunday that she wants to see me the next morning.
My timing today is a perfect accident. Just as I get to where I can view the twin windows on Kate's house, I see a hand slip under the shade and remove the decorative candle from the sill of the window on the right. That's the signal. Kate wants to see me.
And now... what do I do?
It's always a thrill for me to realize that my drop-dead gorgeous neighbor, Kate, is anticipating a Monday-morning sex romp with me -- her chosen Fuck Buddy -- on a topic that she wishes to explore. Still, my daughter... my estranged daughter... my painfully estranged daughter... is with me on the phone at this exact moment, wanting to have a coffee in the morning at probably the exact same time that my neighbor wants to have sex. Amazing sex. So-far-incredible sex.
Coffee with my daughter? Or sex with my neighbor?
I tell my clients this all the time: Problems need solutions, and solutions usually require more accurate information.
And Zoey still hasn't told me what this meeting she wants to have with me is about.
"So, Zoey," I begin speaking back into the phone, "I do have an appointment in the morning. It starts at 9:30 and I really don't know how long it's going to take. What time is your flight?"
"My flight leaves at three-thirty," Zoey replies. "I need to be at the airport around one-thirty."
"Can I see you this evening?" I offer as an alternative.
"I'm staying with a friend from college and we already have plans for tonight," Zoey replies. "We're getting together with some other girls."
"Can I buy you lunch tomorrow at the airport?" I offer. Pinning Zoey down to any sort of plan has always been like pulling teeth.
"I guess that could work," she replies. Then, always the pragmatic one: "But the places to eat are on the other side of security, aren't they? You won't have a boarding pass. How are you going to get through security?"
"I've got a friend who works with the airport authority," I reply. "I'll text her tonight and we'll work something out. Your Dad still knows how to pull a few strings."
Zoey laughs into the phone. "You were always good at things like that," she replied softly. "So... one-ish tomorrow?"
"I look forward to it," I reply. "So, Zee... can you give me a hint of what this is about? Good news? Bad news? Anything I need to be ready for?"
"I just wanted to see you," Zoey responds. "When Abby and Mom heard about my trip, they said for me to reach out. Well, Mom said it might be nice. Abby said I had to. She's so bossy!"
"She always has been," I reply with a smile. And it sounds like I'm not going to get more of an answer. "So... I'll see you tomorrow. Oh... what airline? I have to make sure I go to the right terminal."
"Southwest," Zoey replies. Then, "K. Gotta run. 'Bye, Dad!" And the call ends with a click.
My Head Voice chimes in: (Well, that was a surprise. Wonder what she wants to talk about?)
"I don't know," I respond. "And she doesn't want to tell me. We'll see tomorrow. So I'm not going to think about it.
"I'm going to think about Kate instead."
(Good call!)
Now it's 9:30 on Monday morning and I step through Kate's kitchen door for our appointment.
There isn't an index card on the table. Instead, there's an envelope sitting where the card usually resides. My name is written in Kate's handwriting on the front of the envelope. The envelope isn't sealed.
It's a greeting card. Simple, clean with "Happy Anniversary" printed on the front. I open it and, instead of there being some happy (or sappy) little rhyme to read, it's a blank card. Kate's handwriting is inside.
On the left side are three words, one per line:
More
Shower
Fun
On the right side, Kate's written: "Happy Anniversary! Let's go back to where it all started... this time in MY shower!"
I've gotta give it to her... this girl has an amazing imagination!
I mount the stairs to see the Fuck Buddy Room's door is closed. The door to Kate's bedroom is ajar, and I can hear sounds coming from the ensuite bath that's attached to the bedroom. So that's my destination.
I push the bathroom door open and it's like I'm instantly transported to another place. The bath has been redone to the nines.
Head Voice: (Daa-yum! This girl isn't afraid to spend money on her passions! Lucky for you, you're one of them.)
The same construction company built both houses, Kate's and mine. Our floorplans are similar in the way space is allocated and the layout of rooms and such. Kate's primary bathroom is nothing like mine.
It's been re-done to be more of a spa. My floors are a cheap vinyl, hers are a heated tile. My counters are laminate, hers are granite. My shower is a step-in affair a little larger than a phone booth, hers takes up one whole side of the room. Where mine has a door, Kate's shower is open on one end. A floor-to-ceiling wall of thick frosted glass shields the open space from the wet space. The lighting is soft and muted and there are LED candles with flicker flames everywhere.
The whole room is also steamy, with a warm and tingly fragrance in the air. Quiet, zen-like music is playing.
