Truth or Consequences

     Wisdom, compassion, and courage are the three universally recognized moral qualities of men. -Confucius


     When the car pulls into the parking lot, he jumps out and strolls around to open my door. He takes the paperwork, placing it under his arm then extends a hand. I lay my hand on top of his and exit the car.


     When I let go, he frowns. I smooth out my rustic colored dress. God, I wonder if I should've worn something different.


     "Stop fidgeting, you're beautiful." He coaxes me forward. "Now, come on."


     I smack his arm then follow him through the double glass doors into the lobby. He points to the receptionist. The woman at the desk is a bottled blonde. Her hair is pulled up into a smooth, neat bun, and she's wearing minimal make-up. As we approach, she puts on a plastic smile.
