Sally knew the ether would keep scarlet under for quite some time, so she closed the bathroom door. She walked through the bedroom, stopping briefly at the mirror to make sure she was presentable, and went out into the hall, closing the bedroom door after her.

Sally made her way down the stairs, the yappy little dog following her all the way. When she came to the bottom their stood a tall handsome cowboy, holding flowers.

Well hello, she said smiling widely. What can I do for you? Matt held out his hand and shook Sally's. Im Matt Jacobs. I have a date with Scarlet tonight, is she here? Oh Matt! I am Carol, Scarlets cousin. I showed up here this afternoon to surprise her with a visit. Scarlet had to run an errand for a sick friend, she said she would meet you at the restaurant. Oh, Matt said with clear disappointment in his voice, I was hoping to surprise her by being early and giving her these flowers. Well, dont you worry about that, I will put them in a nice vase on the table here and when you bring her home later, she will be surprised to see them here. That is a great Idea, Matt said. He handed Sally the flowers and tipped his hat and left. Sally waited a few minutes until she was sure he was gone and then tossed the flowers into the coat closet with glee. She wont be needing these any more.
