Passion in James County XIV: A Week In The Mountaind
After they finished making love, Frankie and Kay reluctantly got out of bed, cleaned themselves up, and put their clothes back on. They had just walked into the living room and seated themselves when Sue wandered in. She was too exhausted and distracted by what she'd been doing that afternoon to notice the looks of relief Frankie and Kay exchanged when she entered the house.
Just as Sue walked past the table where the phone was located, it rang. She picked it up. "Hello," she said. She listened. "Hi, Stu, this is Sue. No, she's right here, hang on a minute." She looked over at Kay. "It's your husband," she said. "He wants to talk to you."
Kay got up, walked over to Sue, and took the phone from her friend. "Hello, Stu," she said. She realized she felt a bit miffed at him for intruding on her time with Frankie. The realization turned her anger into feelings of guilt.
"Hi, Kay," her husband replied. "Look, I think I got things pretty well under control here. I wasn't planning to, but I think I'm going to come back up Saturday morning."
Kay wasn't at all pleased by her husband's announcement. "All...all right, Stu," she said.
"Yeah," her husband continued, "I figured the guys and I could get in some fishing, you know. And..."
"And what?" Kay asked.
"Nothing," Stu replied.
"Glen and Mike have gone off on a fishing trip with some other guys," Kay told him. "They won't be back until late Saturday."
"Damn," Stu said. "Sounds like that woulda been fun. Oh, well. I'm still gonna come up," he continued. There was a long pause. "Kay...there...there's something I...I need to talk with you about, anyhow. That's...that's really why I'm coming back up."
Kay had no idea what it was he wanted to discuss with her, and was too upset by his announcement that he was returning to worry about the reason. "All right," she said. "I'll see you Saturday." She put the phone down. "I wonder what he wants to talk with me about that's so important it couldn't wait until I get home?" she mused. She continued to stand next to the table holding the phone, lost in thought.
Sue plopped down on the sofa, looking really bushed, which she was. "What was that all about?" she asked Kay.
"Stu...he's coming up Saturday, he...he got whatever it was he had to do finished," Kay replied.
Sue smiled wanly and shook her head. "Looks like our bachelorette days are going to end Saturday, huh, Kay?" she commented.
Kay nodded and said, "It does look that way." She started for the chair where she'd been sitting when the phone rang again. "This place is getting like Grand Central Station," she said. She turned, walked back to the table, and picked up the phone. "Bobar residence," she said.
"May I speak with Kay Tobin?" a male voice said.
"This is she," Kay replied.
"Ah, Mrs. Tobin," the man said, "this is Morton Dumas, at the real estate office. Everything's all set to close on the Williston property. If you can come in at nine tomorrow morning, we can do the closing."
"That's good news, Mr. Dumas," Kay said. "Tomorrow at nine? I'll be there."
