"What?" Randi, startled, whirled around.
The iced tea she had poured for herself spilled onto the floor. It splashed onto her bare feet.
"Oh shit!" she gasped. "Now look what I've done!"
Again she looked up. In the dim light from the refrigerator, she saw Rick. His body was naked from the
waist up, his shoulders muscular and powerful, his chest hairy and broad. He was only about five years
older than she was, of course, but she had never thought of him-like that.
And just what do you mean, like that? she asked herself. But Randi could see that she was not exactly
the only one who was struck by the moment. She suddenly realized that the weak light from the
refrigerator was behind her, illuminating the curves of her own body through the filmy fabric of her nightie.
Rick, naturally, was looking. Quickly, she closed the door. Now they were in the dark.
"God, I've got to mop this up," Randi said.
"Here, I'll help," Rick murmured. "I didn't mean to make you spill it.
I was just so hot. I thought I'd come in and get a glass for myself.
Then, when I saw you-"
"Oh, I know," Randi said. "It's nothing. I'll clean it up."
She had grown up in the house, so she found her way to the kitchen towels easily. On the way back to
the refrigerator, she bumped into Rick in the dark.
"Oh! Excuse me," she said.
