Jane was all wound up and had a hard time sleeping that night. She worried about her husband. She worried about herself and her children. What would become of them?
When Jane finally started to drift off, she was jarred awake again as her thoughts wandered to the giant appendage that had literally sent shock waves through her body earlier that evening. She had never known that a man's thing could be that big. Martin's was nowhere near as large and she had only seen his or felt it on the infrequent occasions when she found herself in the missionary position, tending dutifully to her husband's conjugal needs.
Both she and Martin were extremely shy about their bodies and never allowed one another to see each other naked. Jane could not get her mind off what she had felt pressed against her. What did it look like, she wondered? She tried to put the wicked thoughts out of her mind, but they kept intruding on her consciousness as she lay there alone in bed.
After a few hours of fitful sleep Jane awoke much later than normal, about 10 a.m. Jane felt out of sorts since she never slept in that late. The day was half gone, she thought. After a quick breakfast Jane busied herself making lists. She made one list of the possessions they could sell to raise some money, another list of the things they would need to keep wherever they may have to move and a third list of the things they might have to put into storage.
The lists kept Jane busy for a couple of hours. She was hoping she might get a call back from Richard and that he would have talked the church out of evicting them, and if not that, perhaps at least some word on a job. Getting out of the house would be good for her, she rationalized. She was going stir crazy cooped up in the house all alone with no one to talk to and nothing but her worries to think about.
As the afternoon wore on, Jane's hope that she would hear from Richard began to fade. Finally, she worked up the courage to call him at his office, but the receptionist told her that he was out of the office. The girl said he was tied up in an important meeting with one of his major clients and would not be available until the following day.
Hopes dashed, Jane decided to fix some dinner and turn in early. She was exhausted after the previous fitful night and her anxiety filled day.
-----
The sound of the phone jarred Jane from her sleep. She knocked the receiver to the floor as she fumbled for it in the darkness. Once she pulled the receiver up by the cord and placed it to her ear, she heard Richard's voice on the other end. He sounded excited. "Jane, are you there?"
"Yes, hello" Jane said sleepily. "I...I was asleep."
"Sorry to wake you, but I wanted to call you right away, said Richard excitedly. "I think I have some good news for you."
"Has the church changed its mind?" Jane asked hopefully.
"No, unfortunately. They were adamant in their position. As a matter of fact, they have retained other counsel and have decided to sue you and Martin for the missing funds, said Richard, his voice devoid of his previous excitement. "I have had to recuse myself as their attorney for now, but that isn't why I called."
"You said you had some good news," Jane asked hopefully. She had enough bad news already and some good news would be nice for a change.
"Yes, I just got done meeting with one of my major clients and they are about to roll out a new product. I told them about your situation, and they seemed to think they might have a position for you," said Richard, his sounding excited again. "Given your background, they think you would be a perfect fit for them. They said you have the wholesome appearance they are looking for and that you seemed to be very well spoken."
"How do they know that?" Jane asked suspiciously as she started to become fully awake.
"They saw you on the local TV news a couple of weeks ago when you were talking to the reporters outside your house," said Richard.
"Oh? And all the negative publicity doesn't scare them away?" asked Jane skeptically.
"No," said Richard, "They don't see it as a problem. What is more, this is not a low paying entry level receptionist job. They think you have some unique qualities that make you perfect for their project."
"This sounds too good to be true," gushed Jane, abandoning her characteristic reserve.
"They are willing to offer you a generous starting salary, plus bonuses if you meet certain performance goals," continued Richard, enthusiastically. "Even better, they are willing to provide you with housing while you go through training and a signing bonus that should take care of the boys' tuition and expenses for the next few months...but only if you are willing to move forward quickly."
"I...I don't know what to say," Jane said stunned, as she tried to assimilate the positive news, her brain racing as she repeated herself. "It sounds too good to be true."
"Well it is true, but what's most important is that you need to move quickly on this offer before they find someone else...or have second thoughts," cautioned Richard. "They want to meet with you tomorrow morning. So, I'll pick you up at your home at 7 a.m."
"Yes, I guess, I...I'm sorry this is going so fast. What should I wear? What do I need to bring along? Do I need a resume or anything?" asked Jane as her mind continued to race. "Shouldn't I drive in myself? I wouldn't want to impose on you."
"Don't be silly!" said Richard. "Besides, it's going to be an all-day affair. I can give you a ride home. You will not need a resume and just wear one of the outfits you wear to church on Sundays, that should be fine. Make sure you bring your driver's license and social security card. If you have a passport, bring that too, just to be safe. You'll have to fill out an application and they are probably going to put you through their normal battery of tests."
"Tests?" asked Jane quizzically.
"Yes, they are a big company and they put every potential hire through a battery of psychological tests as well as a physical. They have a doctor and nurse on staff. Don't worry about it, that's standard procedure. Besides, I'll be there to help you with any questions," Richard reassured.
"Well, OK then. I guess I'll see you in the morning," said Jane, sounding relieved. "Thank you so much. I can't tell you how appreciative I am."
"We can talk about that later," he laughed, "I'll see you in the morning."
