Last night is the night I will
remember you by
When I think
Of things we did
Jt makes me want to cry
(Beetles, 1S$5)
The honks of tixicds were Miles
Braua's alarm. Another dy to wcny
about. He draped on h;.3 rcba ar.d
shuffled over to the viridow. A3 tha sim
peaked over the city &kylkev he sqsfatod
to see the mcrr.feg nh. It reminded
him of blood cells rushinj through a
vein, from a film he sr,v iz science
class. He scratched his PM top and
walked Into the bsifcrcom. Today was
the day he had to see ilden.
I
It had beer? o electric Christinas for .
Miles an electric reccr, electric
toothbrush and a hi-fi phonograph. The
first two gilts sat on his dresser unused.
He feared being electrocuted in his
own bathroom.
Miles stood before the mirror. 'Hello,
Helen. It's so nice to
cffcji vM
in,"t!
nervously rehesrssd. A erfa surfaced
"Now she's got r.o tdklr to myself,"
he disclosed to the n&ecticn. He pro
ceeded to brush his teeth meticu
lously, as if before a dentist appoint
ment. Miles knewWhadl to look his best.
He would wear vzl Flip wedi refer to
as "funeral thre&is." Ka vsslked ever to '
the closet and pulled cat Ms finest. A
charcoal flannel suSt, wMte wing-collar-ed
oxford shirt, gray ana black-striped
narrow silk tie.
"Locks like the ol' wir.gtips need a
buffm'," he thought as he searched the
room for bis shoesMne kit. He found it
under the bed, next to a familiar sho
ebox and pulled them both out
It was she ViewMascr he had spot
ted, the toy that had made Helen's fam
ily so filthy rich and socially prominent
in the Dig Apple. Miles Ripped through
his discs Superman, Mr. Ed., Howdy
Dcody, Gurainoke. Gazing through the
Vk'vvL'ter spurred a lock back through
his memory. Of Helen. Of the times they
had together, the plans they had made.
Miles saw the separation as oaly
temporary, but an inspiration to him, to
do whatever it took to win her back. He
put the ViewMaster away and went
through the dressing ritual, like a mat
ador before the fight. He even slapped
on a bit of "Lust Nectar" colcgne Flip
had once given hiin. He straightened
his tie, put on his overcoat and scarf
and left with a burst of desperate
confidence.
Taxi fare to the museum was expen
sive, but a small price to pay for the
rekindling ef romance, for chivalry.
Helen had worked there since he had
known her, since the Woodwards had
donated an undisclosed beneficiary to
the museum the price cf social
acceptance.
Miles wasn't too fond cf modern art,
and his friends were even less appreci
ative. Hip wej cr.ca kicked out for
being too loud he was laughing at
the price asked for a prised finger-
Miles arrived sX the moment of truth,
he ran his hands through his crew cut
and paced up the gtsfes, hitting every
step. .The confidence wes the begin
ning to drain from his armpits. Ee
reached the top and paused. With a
deep breath, he spun through the
revolving door. His rxsMr.ed wingtips
clapped cut echoes as he walked
through the gallery to find Helen, to
face his phobia.
Helen Woodward sat before a foun
tain, gazing down at her reflection in
the pool. Poised and pure. Her amber
curls perched upon a tan cashmere
cardigan, a burgundy wool skirt draped
smoothly down to her calves. Miles rec
ognized her sea beauty and stood
behind her, admiring, pondcrirg her
reaction. He straightened hb tie and
posture, took a deep breath, and walked
boldly toward the fountain. He neg
lected to wipe the beads cf sweat from
his brow.
Next time: Iklea epc&keth.
