It's the afternoon, and they're curled up in bed together, Mimi's cheek pressed against Roger's chest. She's listening to his heartbeat, her fingers in his hair, thinking.

At length, she raises her head, looks him in the eyes, and says, softly and sincerely, "I think we should have sex with Mark."

The plans are almost all done.

There's only one thing left, and it's really something Mimi needs Roger for.

Which is why she emerges from the bathroom wearing the tightest red dress she owns, with a matching pair of heels, carrying a purse and sauntering past him on the way to the door.

He'll stop her. She knows he will.

Beach wedding or not, there are still plans to be made.

Which is why there is a notebook full of wedding-related lists lying open on their bed, temporarily abandoned so Mimi can have a bath.

things like 'Dress' and 'shoes' have been checked off.

Mimi's hormones are overactive.

She is lurking around the apartment ready to ponce on Roger at a moment's notice.

There is a skimpy negligee involved as well.

Mimi has gone skinny-dipping.

There is, therefore, a pile of clothes by the lake, and the shirt and boxers are both Roger's, so he should recognize them.

Mimi's clothes-stealing tendencies are getting worse.

The great thing about waking up before Roger is that Mimi can screw with him in his sleep.

By 'screw with him' we mean tie him to their bed and leave a plastic bag that says 'Good Vibrations' on it where he can see it, then leave the room.

Poor Roger.

Mimi is outside, doing Yoga in the sunlight.

There's a lot of bending going on.

She's wearing a bra and a pair of Roger's boxer shorts, but that's it.

Mimi has gone to the Cat Scratch to give notice and take her last paycheck, leaving Roger alone in the apartment ( Read more... )

Mimi is upset.

Actually, Mimi is mad as hell.

This would be the reason why, upon returning to her apartment after a brief trip to the bar, she slams the door loudly behind her, cursing in a combination of Spanish and English.

She has a very impressive repetoire of curses.

The day after Roger meets her family, Mimi leaves the bar for an OB-GYN appointment, telling Roger she'll be back in two hours, tops.

The two hours pass with no sign of her.

Those two hours are followed by another ten, and still Mimi hasn't shown.

It -could- just be a matter of her not finding a door back.

Right?
