They were silent for a few minutes as their limo edged its way toward the theater.
“And Claudia?” Lucky asked, breaking the silence. “You’ve told me what she did for you…was
she
just a friend?”
“Of course,” he said quickly.
“So maybe one day we’ll go visit her.”
“Maybe…”
“Anyway,” Lucky said, “I’m looking forward to tonight, and then—I’ve got a big surprise for you.”
“What?”
“Guess.”
“With you—I wouldn’t have a chance. You give unpredictable a whole new meaning.”
“I’m taking a six-month leave of absence from the studio.”
He sat up straight. “You’re doing
what?
”
“You heard. We’re going on a trip around the world…you, me, the kids. No work, just play. I think we deserve it.”
“Sweetheart—you don’t have to do this for me—”
“It’s for us,” she interrupted, staring at him intently. “And when we get back, you can decide what you want to do.”
“Y’know,” he said thoughtfully. “I’ve been thinking…I wouldn’t mind getting into directing….”
“Have I got a studio for you!”
“You’re a funny lady tonight.”
She grinned, her black eyes sparkling. “Whatever makes you happy.”
“
You
make me happy, you always have. You’re the most special woman in the world, and I love you more than I can ever put into words.”
“Love you, too, Lennie,” she said softly. “And I always will.”
They smiled at each other and squeezed hands, and it was as if they’d never been apart.
