Pair of Gilt and Mirrored Altar Candlesticks
A romantic dinner for two; the long dining room table is illuminated only by a tall candlestick on either side, the ham’s glaze glistens in the flickering light and the string quartet resins their bows in anticipation for the lady to arrive.
The man stands from his seat when she walks into the room. He has two glasses of wine that go straight to his head, and conversation continues without missing a beat. He tucks his napkin under his plate and puts his hand out for a dance; the quartet continues playing, albeit with an eyebrow raised…
The tapers’ wax glides down the golden candlesticks as the last light reflects of their mirrored stands. The quartet packs up, he tips them graciously as they walk away exchanging confused looks. The man suggests a walk; some fresh air would do them both good. He grabs a plastic bag and opens the door for her.
It’s not a night unlike another, but he’s gracious as they go to the bedroom together. She tries to get in his bed, as she’s done before, but he protests. He takes off her collar and she happily curls up on her pillow at the foot of his bed, wagging her tail.

Set of Six Venetian Wine Glasses
Christine is throwing a dinner party.
Three couples, including herself and David. Mitch and Dianne from next door are bringing the Jell-o mold. Steve and Kathy are bringing their relationship issues.
Six sets of silver cutlery, polished and placed. Six Venetian wine glasses. Six linen napkins, rolled tightly in six mother-of-pearl napkin rings. Six sets of China set before six of her mother’s chairs. The dining room was perfect, but not before she brushed each chair’s upholstered seat and ran her left hand over the smooth curvature of the back.
Six o’clock, Christine answers the knocks at the door. Two couples, plus a handsome young man with Steve and Kathy. “We’ve solved our marital problems,” Steve says.
Christine is not prepared for this seventh.
