That Magic Moment
"She got that damn knowing smile that all women hold in reserve."

Me and Al were supposed to be a one time fling, but it was inevitable that we’d be together a little longer. The first night we met, we had dinner at El Tepeyac, a Mexican restaurant in City of Industry,...
Love’s Labour’s Won?
"The bar, the Goddess and the moment."
