She Just Wouldn't Understand
"I'm sorry, Jeannie. I just can't marry
you. I wish I could make you understand..."
"I understand, master," she replied sadly.
"It is because you are an astronaut
and astronauts do not marry genies." With one last,
soulful look, Jeannie
disappeared into a cloud of pink smoke which then sank down into
her bottle.
Major Nelson sighed. Yet again, he'd let Jeannie
down. It was always so
hard to do...so hard to see that sad, disappointed look on her
face that she
always had whenever this subject came up. Hurting her was
the last thing in
the world he wanted, but he knew it couldn't be any other
way. He couldn't
marry her, he just couldn't...but not for the reason he always
gave her.
She wouldn't understand. None of them would understand.
Tony put the stopper on the bottle and settled down on the couch
with a
book. He knew he wouldn't have to wait long for his lover
to arrive, not
after the insanity they'd gotten into -- and out of -- that
day. And he was
right...he was soon rewarded with a soft click, then the sound of
his front
door opening after it was unlatched.
For all his spontaneity, Roger Healey could be as predictable as
clockwork.
