EPILOGUE

 

To Adriana, the old adage about time flying when you are experiencing happiness, was never truer than when she stood with David in front of the Priest. She felt as if transported from that surreal moment under the crystal disco ball to a hilltop alive with the colors of spring. Roses trellised the arched pergola under which she and David exchanged their vows as their kin and friends watched from white folding chairs and cheered when the Priest declared the couple, man and wife.

On the groom's side of the aisle, Mr. and Mrs. Spinetta sat behind the proud parents. Through Adriana's intervention and urgings, David had grown close to his parents again. Mrs. Spinetta's happiness for the couple was especially grand. David and Adriana had bought a beautiful home in the suburbs and hired her and her husband to help care for it. And they had expressed their fervent hope, that one day soon, Lord willing, Mrs. Spinetta would go on to be their children's nanny.

LILAC IN THE SPRING

By Paula Freda

 

Plain Helen, frumpy, dumpy, frizzy haired freshman Helen, who will love plain Helen? Certainly not the handsomest, smartest, even-tempered, good-humored High School Senior, scholar, football athlete, hunk, Kurt Lance. Though he notices her kind innocent sweet nature, he is quickly tempted away by other girls, some just as sweet-natured, and prettier. Like many of the girls in school, Plain Helen has a crush on Kurt and never quite forgets.

Ten years later, slightly less frumpy dumpy but still plain rainy day frizzy-haired Helen, employed in a publishing firm, is offered a promotion to an editorial position. But first she must apprentice with a full-fledged editor. She accepts and the following morning walks into the office of her new boss who turns out to be Kurt. Of course, she sighs, he doesn't remember her. Why should he? Or does he?
