We had been in Chicago for a few weeks on a business trip that wasnt going well, and if I hadn't promised Lynn a nice night out I would've washed my hands of the deal altogether and left that night. Big payout be damned, it wasnt worth weeks of drama. She changed my mind in a way that I'll never forget, and as it turned out I ended up closing the deal a few days later.
It began as I walked into our hotel room after another frustrating day of endless arguments and document signing with out of state partners.
"Pearls, huh?" In an instant my bad day turned around. She only smiled in response. She's small for 22, but still quite nice to watch hop around the room in her evening dress. That night she took my breath away with beauty beyond words in a dress my credit card probably paid for just that day because she didnt own it before my meeting. I didnt really care; she has good taste and I always enjoy coming home to her. I placed my coat down on a chair as I walked out to the balcony overlooking the city.
With a deep breath of the cool city air I placed my hands on the railing, and tried to recenter myself before fulfilling my dinner obligation. The streets were aglow with brilliant hues of copper and ash. Specks of red and green cycled through the evening byways as the night owls began about their lives. Laughter and dogs could be heard in the plaza below, and a light breeze delivered to me the sweet perfume of my young companion as she slowly placed herself between me and the railing.
