All Summer On A Date: Three Romantic Comedy Short Stories - Plot & Excerpts
I couldn’t resist. It was Sunday—a time of exhaustion after a six day workweek. I needed my fix of Pride and Prejudice. I wanted to escape into a good strong dose of Napoleonic waistlines, rakish secrets, and parlor room discussions about screens embroidered with I know not what.“Jesus, Ger, I was in the middle of the game!” Ron was not happy.“You weren’t here.” I offered my defense without peeling my eyes from the screen. I mean, seriously, how could I? It was my favorite part, the end of tape three when Darcy proposes to Lizzy at Rosings. Anyway, halftime lasted half an hour.As it turns out, halftime does not last half an hour—plus it was only a commercial during the first quarter. Ron had simply quit the couch for a minute to use the bathroom. He didn’t boot me out, though, or wrestle the remote from me. No, Ron tried to reason with me. He pointed out that I watched my tapes of Pride and Prejudice all the time, so much so that I had them memorized—that he practically had them memorized through osmosis.
