"Hello" Jeff tries to sound awake. It is Becky and it is 4:00 in the morning. Two long hours before the alarm clock is to go off.
"DId I wake you up?" Becky hesitently asks into the phone.
"No, I was just getting ready to jump in the shower." Jeff tells a white lie knowing she would never understand.
"Do you think..." Before she can finish, Jeff offers, "I can stop by on my way to the office. If you would like, I'll get the coffee."
Jeff could hear the graditute in her voice. "That sounds good, I'll start Breakfast."
Jeff offers to pickup donuts, because he knows, she's no cook. With the arraigments made, they hang up and Jeff jumps in the shower. He is thinking that he will need a nap before the 2:00 meeting with the new developers. How can he sneak one in without Becky catching on?
Becky had the door open before Jeff can knock. As usual his hands are full. He has brought hot coffee, donuts and the newspaper with him. As Becky lets him in, she discovers for the first time that Jeff is showing the first stages for aging. He has a few fine lines around the eyes and laugh lines can be detected. His black hair is just starting to turning gray. Becky thinks he will be very attactive in "old" age. She hope he will give love another chance.
Follows Jeff into the kitchen, Becky stops long enough to see her reflection in the hall mirror. She can not believe what she is seeing. It's as if she is seeing herself for the first time. Her red hair is also starting to show it's gray. And there are fine lines around her eyes as well. She thinks to herself, I have been out of it quite a bit lately, but when did I get this old?
Ocer coffee Becky starte, "I have been thinking of going to see Ann and Dave."
"What a great idea. I have been tring to get you out of the house for two years!." Jeff can hardly contain his excitment.
Becky continues as if she is afraid if she doesn't complete her thoughs, she will not say them. "I was thinking of being gone for two weeks. Mayby you could join me? You would have to be gone for the whole time, but maybe fly home with me when my vacation is over."
Jeff had made up his mind that he would go to the end of the world for her if she was to ask.
