Let me tell you about my friends Ray and Louise.
My wife Claire first met Louise at the club where they both played tennis. They became friends, and soon decided that we should go out socially together. That's when I met Louise's husband Ray.
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Ray, but we had never really bonded. If I had to describe Ray in one word, that word would be -- dull. The only thing that he seems to have any real interest in is golf, and I don't play golf.
But Louise! Louise is beautiful! I mean, really, really beautiful. Not just physically, but she has an inner beauty, a sweetness, an almost childlike innocence that I have always found to be fascinating. I wanted her -- wanted her more than I've ever wanted any other woman.
Whenever we went out, all of the men who met Louise would flirt with her. And yet she seemed oblivious to this and never flirted back. There had been a couple of times, when we were dancing together after a few drinks, that I had made the gentlest of suggestions that maybe we could get together sometime. Each time she had changed the subject quickly, and so I backed off and said no more. I was a patient man, and I didn't want to spoil any chance, no matter how slim, for the future.
Of course I fantasised about being with Louise. Whenever Claire and I had sex, it was always Louise who was in my thoughts.
Things didn't work out with Claire and myself. Maybe she figured out how I felt about Louise, I don't know, but she left me and moved to another state. Of course I kept up my friendship with Ray and Louise, for obvious reasons.
Then one day I had a little bit of luck. I won some money in the lottery. Not a fortune, but a nice little windfall. And that gave me an idea.
One sunny Saturday, just after lunch, I drove around to Ray and Louise's house. Next to me in the car was a brand new set of golf clubs. When I arrived at the house, I parked the car, picked up the golf clubs, and walked up to the front door and rang the bell.
Ray answered the door. He was wearing his golf clothes as I had anticipated, and he immediately spotted the clubs. "What's with the clubs?" he asked. "I didn't know that you had taken up golf?"
I went inside the house. "No, I haven't taken up golf," I said. "These are for you."
"Seriously??" he asked. "But these are top of the line models. They must have cost a fortune!"
"I had a little bit of luck in the lotteries," I said, "and I wanted to share my good fortune with you, so I bought you these as a present."
