drink then she said, “Well, sometimes talking keeps you from being lonely.” Natalie thought Lamont was the best looking man she had ever seen. He had golden blonde hair that was always a bit unruly. His eyes were a deep blue and his smile would capture any girl's heart. She wished he wasn’t so quiet. Natalie asked, “Do you dance?” Lamont said, “I’ve tried, but I’m afraid I don’t do too well.” She laughed, “I’ll take a chance.” She took his hand, “Come on.” Lamont laughed, “Okay, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
    The orchestra was just beginning to play a soft romantic tune. As they began to dance, Natalie knew he was going to be easy to follow, “You’re doing fine Monty Ellman.” Lamont laughed, “Maybe it’s because I’m sober. I don’t try to dance unless I’m drunk.” She giggled, “I can’t imagine you drunk. In fact, I can’t understand why you and David are such good friends.” He looked down at her, “What do you mean?” “You’re so different. Dave is wild and loud. You’re more grown up even though Dave is two years older than you are. You’re more the serious type. You and Dave have nothing in common.” Lamont said, “I’m not all that serious. You just don’t know me.” The music stopped. As they walked back to their table, Natalie squeezed his fingers, “I want to know you better. You should loosen up a little. Enjoy yourself. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.” They sat down. Lamont said, “S your motto is the old saying, eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow you may die.” “Yes, I do feel that way. I don’t want to miss out on anything in life.”
    “You’re wrong you know.” Lamont said. Natalie sipped on another drink. She took her finger and moved the ice around in her glass. She asked, “Give me one good reason why I’m wrong.” Lamont thought for a second, “Think of your future, your plans. The way you want to spend most of your life.” Natalie looked at Lamont, “I have no plans. All I know is I don’t want to ever get married and I certainly don’t want to get old. When I begin to get old I want to die.” Lamont said, “Oh come on Nat. You’re just talking. You’ll change your mind when you get a little older. You’ll get married one of these days and when you do and are deeply in love, you’ll want to live to be a ripe old age.” Lamont saw a seriousness on her face he had not seen before.
    Natalie said, “Don’t think this is the booze talking. It isn’t. I’m dead serious Monty. There is no such thing as love so why marry some man just so you can legally sleep together. I’ve never slept with anyone yet but if and when I find someone who I want to go to bed with, I will.” She looked at Lamont, “I just don’t want any strings. No one’s gonna own me.”
    She looked at Lamont, their eyes meeting, “Monty, I bet you’re the marrying type. The little house with the white picket fence and a lot of kids.” Lamont put his glass down after drinking all in his glass, “I’ve not thought about it, but I suppose some day I will get married.” She asked, “Why?” Lamont thought for a minute then said, “Why? Because everyone needs somebody to care for. Someone to share your dreams with. I’d like children someday and I want a wife to go with them.” She made a jester with her hands, “Well, to each his own but not me. All I want is to have fun with no ties. Say, how’d we get in this mood?”
    David came over to the table with a sexy blonde. David asked, “Having fun?” Before anyone could answer he said, “This is Tina. Tina, my sister Natalie and a friend Monty.” They flashed a big smile and said, “Glad to meet you I’m sure.”
    It wasn’t long until the blond was flirting with Lamont. David was getting drunk and really didn’t care. It wasn’t long until David was talking loud. People were looking at them. Mr. Allen came over to their table, “I’m sorry but you’ll have to leave before
