THE COMEBACK:

Let’s grab a drink!

Are you talking about a ‘cocktail’?

THE MESSAGE:

OH THE GENES OF INFIDELITY!

There she stands. Pretty face, shapely figure, soft eyes and mysterious presence all bundled together in a married women without shame.

Yes, there she stands, giggling. She looks around. The office is totally empty but for the two of them. 

“Did you forget our dinner date?”, she chirps, one hand dangling at her side and hips that continue to  sway ever so slightly. The other hand was tucked casually into a front pocket. 

There he sits. His perch is unsettled. A married fellow who is bored by the work piling up on top of his desk. He picks up his desk phone and pretends to be involved with the invisible being on the other end of the line. Feigning annoyance, he proclaims loudly into the phone, "We’ll talk later.”

He stands, replaces the phone in its cradle, and pushes away from his desk. The helpless dupe grasps one of her hands and leads her to the supply room. Who really understands what is about to happen? Why is he still in the office at this hour? Why is he not at home with his family? Who is she?

Who is tempting whom? Is it not a ‘given' that temptation oft begets turmoil and regret? Did Shakespeare not warn of this? Or was it Ann Landers?
