I was in the city for a meeting that ran very late and found myself sitting alone at a bar in Union Station while I waited for the last train home in the 'burbs..

You've been engaged for a few months now. Your bride-to-be, Emily, was a stunning brunette, and she knew it. She was average height, 5'7", but there was nothing else average about her.

"Sheesh, Jim, and I really thought you'd get through a term without another one of these." I smiled and put the image away, nodding. "Whatever. It's become old hat." I shrugged. "But I know how crazy it's getting with the state, so I'm just doing the right thing here." I had to admit, though, the image lit me up in a way I hadn't felt since...I couldn't qu...
