Chapter 50

            Marty and his staff had cleaned up the far side of the dining room and cut off the lights on that side to save on gas in the generator. Lori and Danny had gone home a half hour ago. Suede, Stan, Sonny, and Joanna were the only customers left in the place. They had moved to a smaller table closer to the dance floor.

            Sonny and Stan were sitting at the table watching Joanna and Suede dance. Suede held Joanna close, holding her hand in his. They were dancing to Islands in the Stream sang by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers.

            Suede was pretty light on his feet.  “So you’re going to Paris after a few weeks here. Will you be coming back this way after that?” he asked in her ear.
