Chapter 1 Excerpt:
Life was great for Damita Crutchfield a professor for a local upstart Ferdinand Jean University. Megan Hightower a former best friend of Damita applied to join the staff. Damita was headed from the administration building as Megan left the office.
"Hi Megan. It's been a long time since we last met."
"I know. The last time we spoke Damita was almost a decade ago. You were on your way to college in Miami."
"I teach social science here at the University. I am headed to my first class. Why are you here?"
"I just interviewed for a history professor position."
"Good luck. It would be nice to have you as a colleague."
"Let me get your cell number," Megan said.
"Okay. I only have a moment. Are you ready?"
Megan quickly entered Damita's number into her cell phone. "I'll call you later."
A reverse phone number look up on the internet provided Damita's address.
Megan knocked on Damita's door at first twilight. A well built specimen of a man answered.
"What are you doing here?" Megan asked.
"I could ask you the same question," he said.
"I'm here to see Damita."
"She should be pulling into the driveway soon. Would you like to come in?"
"Okay. I guess it couldn't hurt."
"I'm finishing dinner. Would you like any-thing to drink? Perhaps some water or tea... I do have some chardonnay. Maybe wine is what the lady would prefer."
"No, I wouldn't care for anything right now."
"Excuse me, Megan. I'll be right back."
After a few minutes Terrell returned from the kitchen.
"Terrell Crutchfield this is a real surprise. We met the summer after we graduated high school. Our steamy eight weeks of lust and sex cannot be forgotten. I was still living at home with my parents. Your butt was bad. Your parents had thrown you out. I practically lived at your apartment when I was not home. So. Are you married to Damita?"
"Yes. We have been happily married for two years. You're probably aren't aware I'm now a minister."
"You!" Megan exclaimed. "Terrell Crutchfield a minister!"
"I'm the senior minister at Tabernacle Baptist Church."
The phone rang. "Hello. Terrell speaking."
"I am sorry baby. Do you recall the domestic violence luncheon I mentioned?"
"Yes. And..."
"Well. It's today. I won't be home for about four hours. I love you."
"I love you too. Your friend, Megan is here. I told Megan that you would be home soon. She decided to wait on you."
"Tell Megan to call me tomorrow. I'll check my schedule. We'll set a time to meet."
"Okay Damita," Terrell said. "I'll give Megan the message. Enjoy your luncheon."
"Bye baby." Damita disconnected.
"You probably overhead me on the phone. Damita called to inform me of a luncheon that she'll be at for the next four hours."
"What type of luncheon?"
"It's a fundraiser luncheon being hosted by The Irene Haywood Foundation. Damita serves on the board of directors. Monies collected will go towards building a safe house for women caught in domestic violence relationships."
"I'll give Damita a call tomorrow."
"Good she'll be expecting your call."
"I guess, I'll see you around," Megan said.
"Would you like to join me for dinner? I hate to eat alone. I prepared for two."
"It's probably not right. But I could never say no to you."
