For my teachersElaine Gottlieb, Diane Lefer, Franois Camoin, Phyllis Barber, Wendell Mayo, and lots of others. You know who you are and I thank you. For the loves of my lifeMary, Sienna, Mike and Britney. For my family at UNT PressFran Vick, Charlotte Wright, Melanie Johnstone, and Barbara Heick. For my readers; without readers, writing is like having sex with yourself. The feedback you get for your performance is ultimately flawed.

Blue Skies
Elise is not tardy; she is late. At a quarter of five I open the door and she comes in with a rush of Royal Secret perfume, dressed in a pinstripe and a hat and Ferragamo shoes, all different shades of gray. A hat! I don't remark on her little pillbox thing I've seen on women all over New Orleans since I drove up from Houma.
It turns out Elise still likes Dubormet. I'd made a good choice and so I told her I liked her shoes and she lifted up her glass and smiled and said, "Blue skies, Ted, blue skies." I was sitting on the bed and she had elected the chair by the dresser. That, and the suit, were signals I could read clearly.
Then. Looking away and picking something I couldn't see off her suit with a shiny crimson nail: "You didn't ask about Celsi."
