She decided not to ask him about the book in his briefcase

Waiting for him to bring it up

A few days passed before he said to her over dinner

I have been reading these great books

Oh really she said trying not to look too interested

An amazing author who tells colorful racy stories

You should read her books he insisted

Probably not my cup of tea she said dismissively 

He fell asleep soon after dinner

She checked her emails 

More fan mail from Jack

Saying he had an incredible story to tell her

She asked her agent to contact Jack

Thanking him for his fan mail

Maybe have one of his staff meet with him soon

Make sure he signs an NDA before I interview him

Her new book was going to be all about ordinary people

Who led extraordinary secret lives

Achieving amazing things in anonymity

Without ever wanting recognition or fame

Her husband woke up and turned off the TV

Time for bed he announced

They were soon side by side reading

She could not remember when they last had any intimacy 

He was reading her latest novel

She felt uneasy when he read passages to her out loud

She was not sure how best to react to all this

A bit too explicit for my tastes she said

The next day she met with her agent at his office

Signing papers and vehemently resisting his requests to go public

Oh I had my assistant meet Jack he said

He has an amazing story to tell you
