14. Gone for Gold In the wee hours of their first tryst, The Ride of the Valkyrie can be heard throughout the house, and Gold pours Jay more cognac while she pours herself a hot bath. When she is clean and towel-wrapped he leads her to a room where she sits down on the edge of a big brass bed. The frame gleams in the moonlight. He stands before her and she encircles him with her wet goose-bumped arms. Her towels fall. He pushes her softly into the bed, covers her with a cool quilt and leaves the room. Shivering and wet, she curls up and drifts off to restless dreams.

11. Sticks and Stones Descending from Stop 39, the tipsy pair head north in a cab to the man’s house. Far from the brash city lights, he leads her along a moonlit path in the autumnal night.

Jazz notes floated through the air. A woman named Tabby wearing six inch clear stilettos sat next to Entrepreneur Paul. She attempted to speak. Atkinson raised a hand and closed his eyes, savoring the trumpet solo. He then opened his eyes and turned to the woman.
