I was sitting in my study working on my new book when my sister called.
"Keith, I need you to do me a big favor," She said.
I sighed. "With whom are you setting me up with this time, sister dear?"
For years, Kelly has been siccing her girlfriends on me. Women are not unhappy to be found in my company. I'm tall, well-built, and well-off, with a head of shoulder-length blonde hair and pearly white teeth. I sometime think Kelly uses me to gain certain social advantages.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you. My sister has exquisite taste in friends.
"I want you to go out with my boss," she said. Something in her tone put me off. Usually, it was 'you'll like her', or 'she's very pretty. Just your type'. This time, there was no sales pitch.
"It must be important," I said.
"There's a big party Friday night. Very chic. Very black tie. Very boring. She wants you to meet her there."
"How will I recognize her?" I asked.
"She'll recognize you," Kelly said. "She's seen your picture. I think she's even read a few of your books."



Friday night found me dressed in my tux, standing on the outskirts of a crowded ballroom. I was nursing my first glass of champagne as I scanned the partygoers. I didn't have the slightest idea how my date was going to find me in this mob. Just then, however, I felt a light tap on my shoulder.
 
I arrived at the party early in anticipation of meeting Kelly's brother Keith. I had read most of his most recent books and I was intrigued with him. I had had my share of dates recently but it seemed to me that intelligent conversation was hard to come by now a days. I watched the door constantly well socializing with my fellow co-workers and employees.

I felt bad for asking Kelly to set us up on a blind date but I figured what could it hurt? I knew he was an attractive man from the pictures I had seen, and anyone who could write like him had to be intelligent. Kelly had seemed some what put off by my request and I was going to tell her to scrap it when she agreed to give him a call.

Glancing back at the door I saw him enter the ballroom. I remained where I was standing a moment longer, watching him glance around the room. I saw his eyes skim the beautiful women and I wondered if he was trying figure out which one was his lucky date for the night.

I looked down making sure my white clingy dress was hugging all the right places. Then I adjusted the thin straps on my shoulders and starte across the room. I walked the long way around so that I came up behind him. Before I could lose my courage I reached over and tapped him on the shoulder.

He turned around to face me and my breath caught in my throat. He was even better looking in person if that was possible. I felt a blush rise on my skin as his eyes drifted down my body and back up appraising what was before him.

"Will I suffice do you think?" I asked him smiling up into his eyes.
 
"I hope you're Elaine," I said to the striking woman. "If you aren't, I hope you'll pretend to be Elaine for the rest of the evening."
"I'm Elaine," she confirmed, her smile lighting up the room. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Keith. Kelly's told me all about you."
I flagged down a waiter and got her a glass of champagne.
"To new and exciting possibilities," I said, clicking my glass against hers.
"Possibilities," she echoed. As she drained her glass, I took the opportunity to check her out. I liked what I saw.
