A very good story. A lesson as well, so nice to have a little affair with the wife, or husband, as well. It was a great read. That fortune teller really knew her part.

This certainly is the perfect time for a fortune telling story. Sweaty palms needs a candy bowl. And I grew scared. Well, a love story with some role playing. Good dialogue. Nicely done.

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
You have a brilliant ending, Bob. I was totally thrown by the sexual encounter at first, in fact I had the man down as a cad, In the end he was really back with his wife having a romantic interlude. Very clever and a moral really to the story. Giddy

Comment from L.lora
From your accomplished pen
you give us a wonderful erotic
romp and a very sage message/
lesson to be learned. Very smooth
and easy to read, flows well. Your
narratives are definitely descriptive
and the complimentary dialogue a definite
bonus. No nits or spags. Lora

Comment from jjstar
Okay, you had me fooled for a few minutes. When he threw the rug off, I knew it was his wife...if it was truly another more reckless type of woman, she'd probably demand to do it herself..or just take the initiative. A delightful story. A great idea to steal some time away together.
The tiny house with its steeply pitched roof and old-fashioned front porch, looked as though it might once have served as a mom-and-pop grocery store. A sign in faded Chinese characters still lingered over the front door, which was inset into the right front corner of the building. Inside, the shades on all the windows were pulled all the way down.
===might be a bit much. I found myself a little distracted from the story. I was focusing more on the store than on Arnie....
the walls of their memory-- flashes of color in the black-and white night.
===beautiful...
Everything in Arnie's horoscope was positive--had been for some time.===hmmpphhh must be nice.
wore a rug on his head that looked a lot like fresh road kill.==funny!
at the cocktail hour sky.===hmmm interesting...never have seen it described that way. Yes, it works well for me...hahaha
preferably good not bad by the way===might need a comma after not..I'm kind of thinking after good as well.
I'll spread sauce all over you and work you like a rib. You are one heart-stopping hot Daddy."
===laughing out loud....

Comment from Stalking Wolf
I'd say this deserves the 6, plenty of emotion and drama, but holding to the contest lines of romance, the affair was with his wife, very cool, luck with contest.

Comment from suneagle
Hi Bob. Interesting story, but the POV wanders a lot during your narration--it was a bit disturbing to a discerning reader. Also, I guessed Maureen was the fortuneteller as soon as the sensual part began. Good plot, though.
I've noted some observations for you to consider:
At [forty-three years of age], he still hadn't learned to relax.
His steps appeared to be hurried as he made his way from the parking spot he managed to find.
("appeared" to whom? The narration is jumping from Arnie himself to some external omniscience.)
Entering a dimly lit room he looked about as calm as a rat in a snake hole.
("looked" to whom?)
In the din his eyes could still make out all forms of clutter, knick-knacks, dolls,
(I don't understand your use of "din" here. Did you mean "dim"?)
"Good afternoon, senor[.]" Her voice was soft
A sheer black veil shadowed her face[] from her nose on up[,] and a red and black shawl covered pale white shoulders.
(Comma repositioned.)
Good luck in the contest, but I do believe you should work on keeping the narration within Arnie.

Comment from Soledadpaz
Looks like he's the one who's going to check her temperature, with his thermometer.
What a relief! It's his own wife, role playing.
Tis true, you should never lose sight of each other.
Great read, Bob.
