Chapter 15
Twice.
And again.
Long dresses keep the vapors under wraps ... so to speak. And I was nervous. So, I tootled again. Tainted methane gas permeated the immediate vicinity.
Okay ... so I was nervous ... I said that ... well, I was. Casco was ‘youngish’ and tall ... sorta Dr. Kildare ... but older ... and I had teen crush on him in the Sixties.
Instead of turning purple, Doctor Casco breathed deeply. He sighed.
“odeur d’une femme,” he said.
We were married in a week.
You know the old saw... ‘Marry in haste, repent at leisure?’
Turned out, Doc was one kinky bastard. I wanted kids and that asshole?
... exactly.
Doesn’t matter how many times one drinks from that well ... Kids don’t come from there.
After a whirlwind honeymoon and “No Cigar,” I mentioned that very fact.
“I know,” he said. “Children are messy, expensive and ungrateful. I can drive a Ferrari or have two kids ... I bought a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.”
“We can’t afford that,” I said.
“Sure we can,” he said, “Our prospective incomes qualified. It’s a very nice example.”
“You Sold our kids so you could buy a USED car?”
“Aw, honey. Don’t be that way. Just think how you’ll look riding in it.”
He was right. I looked great ... driving it ... Daddy got it for me in the divorce.
Dr. Casco got the Chevrolet.
I shall not bore you with the facts. Suffice it to say daddy is a very good attorney.
I did have to move. Divorcées are not welcome at the club. It is, after all, a MENS club and they tend to stick together. Sometimes I get the feeling Daddy is glad I’m gone.
Gone?
Yes, gone. Denver is cold, wet and miserable ... well ... maybe not wet. And miserable is my middle name. So ... it’s just cold.
I picked up and headed west. My personal caravan ... my shiny new Land Rover Defender pulling my slick new 28 foot Airstream followed by two Chevrolet Suburbans with my eight bodyguards and trailed by my Kenworth tractor and semi full of my priceless antiques rescued from my eviction by the club.
