“Whoa. That is hot!”

“Oh my goodness, Matt, you look
fantastic. You are …out there.”

“You ladies are the boss. Who would have
thought anybody in
CoveHaven
had such sexy
skivies
.”

“Well, if they didn’t have them. We know
who would supply them. Right,
Brunnie
?”

Brunhilda
Mendle
grinned proudly at the camera screen.

“I’m going to blow this up and put it
over my bed. Look at me, perched up there on the hood of my beloved Oldsmobile
surrounded by three of the most beautiful people in the world and in the most
beautiful underwear. I thought my pair of ‘secret admirer’ shorts might shake
you up, Matt, but I had no idea it would yield such a bonanza of beauties.
And local ones, at that.
Come on into the house, all of you,
I have champagne on ice. Come here, you handsome young photographer, give me
your arm.”

Matt, Dorothy, and Lucy followed the
smiling senior citizen, decked out in her best, tottering on her high heels and
holding on securely to
a grinning
Clay, into her
well-maintained, beautifully appointed old-fashioned mansion.

“Matt, you never had the slightest idea
who might have sent you those shorts in the first place?” Dorothy asked,
slightly unbelievingly, as she and Lucy strolled arm in arm on each side of the
now much more trim and muscular owner of Matt’s Motors through the charmingly
ancient living room to the dining area.

“As far as I was concerned, everybody had
a reason to try and shake me up, and you all had pretty much tried everything
and anything to get me up off my ass and out and about again. And if a pair of
sexy shorts didn’t jump start my stalled motor, then nothing would.
Brunnie
, your timing was perfect, as always. I guess I must
have been ready.”

“Ms.
Mendle
,
you sure know how to think outside of the box. You’re my hero,” Lucy happily
announced. “I want to grow up to be you.”

Passing out the filled champagne flutes,
the smiling head of her one-woman household turned to Clay.

“And why did he pick you to do the honors
shooting his and the girls’ ‘thank you’ present, young man?”

“He said I was the only one he trusted
not to sneak that picture onto the Internet for all of
CoveHaven
to see. And
I
gotta
admit, I’m
tempted
. You ladies are sizzling. All of you, and Ms
Mendle
,
you’re the most sizzling one of all.” The young man turned to Matt with a grin.
“You give me hope that even in my advanced years I will still be able to get it
all.” He raised his glass.

The group joined his gesture.

“Hear hear!”

“Cheers.”

“Should I be sitting on these beautiful
chairs with my bare bottom?”

“Lucy, dear.
I’m honored. I may
never get these chairs cleaned.”

The room erupted in laughter.

Bracketed by his two beautiful
companions, Matt beamed and sipped the sparkling brew contentedly.

Life was very, very good.

And destined to
get even better.
