The annual teachers’ meeting was the only time that all the teachers got

together in one place at one time. It was a 3-hour meeting, from 7 to 10 p.m. Lecturers talked on various subjects. Each talk was followed by a question

and answer period. It was an informal, pleasant evening.

The evening always began with a delicious dinner catered by a local res-

taurant. This year’s host was a Middle Eastern restaurant. Teachers piled

as much as they wanted on their paper plates and found a seat outdoors or in

the auditorium. Most teachers really seemed to appreciate the food.

For Shane, this evening was his opportunity to check out the female

teachers. This year, a beauty walked into the auditorium about 10 minutes

late. She sat in the row in front of Shane, just two seats away. Shane couldn’t

believe it. She was not only the best-looking woman in the auditorium, but

she smiled at him before she sat down. She was tall and had long red hair. She was wearing a sexy black cocktail dress.

Shane could not focus on the meeting anymore. He looked at the lectur-

ers less than he looked at the redhead. He was enveloped in her perfume. She took notes right-handed. She ran her fingers through her hair. She crossed and uncrossed her legs. Shane was going crazy. Plus, there was no ring on her left hand.

The meeting ended. The dean thanked everyone for attending. Every-

body applauded the presenters. The redhead stood up. Shane stood up. She smiled at him, and then walked out. Shane walked out. She went to the rest- room. Shane waited. When she came out, he walked up to her.

“Hi”, he smiled. “My name’s Shane. I was wondering if you have time

for a cup of coffee. I was hoping we could share some of our teaching expe-

riences”.

She smiled. “Why, thank you. That’s sweet of you. I appreciate your

offer, but I’ve got to get home. My husband is babysitting tonight, and I’m

sure he’s pretty tired. Maybe another time? ” She smiled, and walked away.
