Not many totally useless secretaries got a check for four weeks pay and ten hundred dollar bills in the envelope with their pink slip, Brandon thought. He was popping through the Internet, trying to find a direct flight from Philadelphia or New York, but only BWI near Washington had a direct flight to Paris with an open seat in the next few days.
He was on his way there now, but he was not sure Leslie would be glad to see him, so he decided not to call.
When he reached her, he would try to make up for everything he had done or denied her. He would be a good husband like Rick, not the satyr he had been over the period of their marriage.
He would take time with her, he would bring her along slowly, and he would try to teacher her what love and making love was all about. If they were lucky, they might be able to develop a relationship like Rick and Judy.
