to the exit,
    Pamela remembered the final day following Tom’s death
    when she closed up the beach house. Tom had been gone
    a year and life had lost all meaning. The joy of the little cottage was gone and Pamela’s life seemed to be at an end.
    She left everything just as it was the last time they spent 32 __________________Gloria Graham
    together at the cottage on Back Bay Harbor.
    “I know you are definitely in another world my Chéri,
    but do you really like the blue chiffon that well?” Rex knew she was in another world watching the presentation of the blue chiffon.
    Pamela jumped as Rex offered her his handkerchief.
    “My beautiful blue creation is quite moving but not worth your tears, Mi Chéri!” he joked.
    “I will go and get the other gowns organized. Please sit
    and relax until I return,” he excused himself. The memo-
    ries Pamela had experienced had not left her mind. She
    had returned to the beach house. This time it was the very first time they stayed in the beautifully redecorated home.
    This night was to be a get acquainted party for them at
    the clubhouse. She had been undecided on what to wear.
    As usual she had tried on at least three outfits and none seemed right. “What on earth shall I wear?” she finally
    asked Tom. “Why do you ask me? You will wear the first
    thing you tried on!” he laughed. Then he yelled back,
    “Wear that blue one, you know my favorite!”
    “That one is a little fancy don’t you think?” She called
    back.
    “Hey, we want the neighbors to see you at your
    best.”
    “Okay, blue chiffon it is!” she said with a lilt in her
    voice.
    Tom had been waiting for her on the balcony when she
    came down the stairs. He was speechless for a moment.
    “You are beautiful, that’s for sure.”
    Tom kissed her sweetly.
    “My hair, Tom,” she nudged him gently away.

    “What would you say to staying home tonight?”
    Pamela smiled. “What will our neighbors think?”
    “Who cares?” he insisted. “This is our place, our time
    together!” He pulled her close and she melted into his
    arms. She forgot about her hair, her dress, everything
    except loving Tom.
    His kiss stirred up the desire that he always managed
    to make her feel. The oneness they felt flowed between
    them. Since a cool breeze flowed into the room, whipping
    the drapes about.
    “It’s like a kiss, the breeze,” he whispered softly.
    “Oh yes,” she murmured.
    “It’s like my kiss for you, beautiful and unending,” he
    whispered softly. Pamela felt the winds of love.
    As the moon spilled its soft iridescent glow around the
    bedroom, it had been a new beginning for them. Their love had taken on a new dimension, a second honeymoon. Only
    this time each one knew what to do to make it special. A
    gift of love shared by two.
    She was lost in those memories when Rex called her
    name! She flinched. She was back to reality.
    “Are you with me?”
    She quickly answered him. “They are wonderful, every
    design is a masterpiece!”
    “And especially the blue chiffon I would guess!” He
    smiled, “I saw the look on your face.” She hadn’t hidden
    anything from him!
    “Just a memory,” she managed to say.
    The fashion show Rex had arranged for her was like a
    professional production! She could have been more atten-
    tive, if it hadn’t been for the exquisite blue chiffon gown 34 __________________Gloria Graham
    captivating her thoughts.
    “Now let me show you more of my beautiful Paris, out-
    side this clothing department!” Rex took her arm and led
    her out of his salon to the waiting maroon limousine.
    “It’s easy to see why you Frenchmen say you’ll fall in
    love with Paris!” Pamela pointed to the small sidewalk café with freshly painted tables and chairs and bright colored umbrellas.
    “How do you manage to live through this traffic every
    day?” She caught her breath as three automobiles came
    directly toward them, dodging and turning abruptly
