As was her custom, Emma, the facility's social coordinator, visited with Tony that week. "So, I hear you had an eventful dinner with Mandy."
"Yes, she is a lovely woman and a delightful dinner companion."
"Oh, come now. We all know she was more than a dinner companion. The two of you ended up naked on the sofa. Everyone is also talking about your writing project. The first chapter seems to be required reading for all the ladies, even the ones that greatly disapprove of erotic literature. At least they act like they disapprove. I think Amazon is selling a high number of sex toys for these women right now. I don't know if it's the spanking, anal, or pussy eating that does it for them. It could be they really like the characters."
"Well, it's not exactly autobiographical, but it does draw heavily from my own experiences."
"Oh my gosh, that's tempting! Today you have a date with the 'Shining Twins'."
"The 'Shining Twins'? Whatever do you mean." Tony was a bit concerned.
"You remember that Jack Nicholson horror movie, but I'm only kidding. It's nothing serious. Joan and Betty can be a little bit unconventional, but judging from your erotic story, It should be nothing new for you. You do know they are both bi, don't you?"
Emma stayed a bit longer, and they talked about his progress with the other retirement facility activities. They even talked a bit about Emma's life and her marriage to her late husband. Emma was opening up to Tony as much as Tony was opening up to her. They were beginning to advance beyond a somewhat professional relationship into a friendship. Finally, it was time for Emma to go. She knew the "Shining Twins" arrival time wasn't predictable.
