For Old Time's Sake   She sat alone in Rodi's with a school-girl smile on her face. She was reading the note for what seemed like the hundredth time. It had been slid under her office door while she was at work this afternoon, and her mind had been like slush ever since. It simply said "Rodi's, 8:00 tonight, be there or be square. You won't regret it."   The sound of the change falling into the juke box broke her concentration. And that familiar tune made her smile even more. As "My Girl" echoed from the speakers, a voice spoke from behind. "Well, Red, what are you doing here all alone?"   "Bo, I uh, umm, I'm meeting my husband" Nora answered.   Bo extending his hand to Nora. "Well, we're the only one's here, and I don't think your husband would mind you dancing with an old friend, would he?"   Uncomfortable, Nora said "well, one dance, for old times sake." Palms sweating, Nora took Bo's hand, and let him lead her to the dance floor. No words were spoken, just two people lost in the music which ended all too soon for both.   When the song was over, Bo held her hand and lead her back to her table. "Mind if I have a drink with you, you know, while you're waiting for your husband?"   As Nora looked into those twinkling blue eyes, her stomach doing back flips, she said "sure, a drink for old times sake." How could this man that she had known for so long still make her feel so giddy and uncomfortable and embarrassed and silly and happy all at the same time. It had been so long, but all those feelings were still inside her. She smiled awkwardly back at Bo.   They made small talk, their eyes never leaving each other. It was just so comfortable being together. A few drinks and lots of laughs and conversation later, Bo said, "well, it looks like you've been stood up."   "Ya think" Nora said laughing, and knocking her beer and spilling it all over Bo's hand. Eyes locked onto his, Nora picks up his hand and begins cleaning off the mess. She brought his hand slowly to her mouth, and kissed his wet finger tips.   Bo, pulling his hand back "Nora, this isn't a good idea. You're married now." Touching her wedding ring, "I wouldn't want your husband to get the wrong idea."   "I'm sorry, Bo. I didn't mean anything. It's just, I've got all these emotions running ramped in my head and in my heart."   Bo broke the uneasiness, "how about one more dance, and I'll say good night."   With tears forming in her eyes and a small smile on her face, she offered "one dance." How could he still have this hold on her, after all this time.   "When a Man Loves a Woman" began, and they both began laughing. "Bo Buchanan, after all these years together, you still make my heart go wild and you never cease to amaze me."   Picking her up and twirling her around, "ditto, Mrs. Buchanan. And just wait to see what I have in store for you tomorrow night!"   Nora, acting shocked, "and what do you think my husband's going to say. You know, he'll be suspicious if I'm gone again tomorrow."   Bo, looking deeply into Nora eyes, holding her as close as he could while the music played, simply replied "you're husband is the luckiest man in the world, and would be a fool to ever let you go."   "And Commish, your wife is the luckiest woman alive. Do you really know how totally happy you make me? Do you realize that I could never live without you?"   Bo, laughing, "that's what I'm counting on Red! It always feels like the first time with you, Nora. First date, first touch, first laugh... you are definitely my first true love."   Teasingly, Nora replied, "and I'd better be the last."   As the song ended, their date did not. Bo and Nora went home, and continued what they had begun several years earlier, even before they said "I do." And it was always just as good as it had been the first, second, third, fourth.......so many that they had lost count. And it would never be just "for old time's sake". It was for life!
