Rosemary Gets a Job

Rosemary was feeling pretty good she’d gotten a job at a coffee shop near the marina in Coffs Harbor. To celebrate she’d bought a bottle at the bottle shop and knew who she wanted to share it with. She made a phone call.

“Hi Richie, this is Rosemary I got some good news.”

“Yeah, what is it,” Richie stood up and cupped his phone he was in Libby’s apartment.

“I got a job you said I had to get employment so I did. I’m also sober but not for long I hope, I bought a bottle and thought of you.”

“Oh yeah,” Richie said softly, “what made you think of me?”

“I’ve been thinking about you all day, kinda been saving it all up you know, I’d like to see you.”

“Savin’ it up huh, that sounds um yeah, what time?”

“Anytime honey, I’m ready and waiting for you, got this bottle just wanting to be opened and me…wanting you.”

Richie chuckled a little, “I’ll be there shortly, don’t start without me.” He folded his phone and turned, Libby was staring at him and probably heard the whole conversation.
