She was elegant and beguiling in her black sequined dress with short transparent jacket and 4 inch black stiletto heels. She came dressed to kill and looked it.She walked through the doorway, and all eyes turned to her. She strolled gracefully toward the bar, twisting slowly and with awareness of every man near her. She seemed to brush against those in whom she was interested without seeming obvious--to everyone but the men. You can bet your bottom dollar that the men didn't miss an elegant move.When she selected a small table near the front, the table was nearly crushed with the influx of men offering to buy her a drink. She finally picked a tall, handsome, elegantly dressed man who appealed to her and motioned for him to sit down. If she noticed the band on his ring finger, she didn't mention it.They ordered drinks and found that they had much in common in the advertising business and enjoyed a lively conversation involving their roles in regard to their different responsibilities in that field. Both had won awards for their expertise, and she again showed her expertise in a smooth motion as she slowly rose, removed her jacket, took her small, expensive purse and slowly wound her way between the tables toward the rest rooms, mesmerizing everyone in her path.When the wee hours came, and last call for drinks was announced, anyone wholooked in her direction could see her casting her own eyes around for the man whom she would choose to escort her to her typical, expensive NY brownstone.He was over six feet, maybe 200 lbs, well dressed and well groomed. He quickly made his way to her table, and his voice had a hint of the South in it. This delighted her since she was from Atlanta. He was from Birmingham, which wasrather convenient to Atlanta, especially if one were driving to Birmingham to board a plane, which was a popular practice.As serendipity would have it, the suave, confident man and the beguiling lady with the ethereal beauty were both headed for Birmingham and the same flight. We wonder what adventures lay ahead of them and exactly how long the band remained on his finger. Maybe it was only a prop to keep unwanted ladies away.
