I’m sitting in the Charlotte airport. It’s Monday afternoon, November 18. My flight is overbooked, and they’re looking for volunteers to fly tomorrow.
I think, maybe I should take the deal, rent a car and drive over. I concoct a plan.
I’ll rent a Hotel room. A hotel near your work. A room that I can see the windows from the parking lot or common area. I’ll get an extra key-card. I use the hotel stationery to write you a note – “I need you tonight. Come to me. Room xxx” I’ll put the note and keycard in an envelope and leave it on your windshield just after 10p.
Next stop, a lingerie store. Something similar to the outfit you wore in Glens Falls. And a blindfold. The box needs to be gift wrapped. Now back to the hotel.
I leave the box on the bed with a note: “Make yourself comfortable. Please open the box.” Inside the box is an other note – Take your time, get yourself ready. Please wear this. When you’re ready, flash the room lights twice.”
Then I wait. Will you come?
