RESERVED

She sat at the table marked "RESERVED."  The exclusive sign should have been pinned to her chest, over the fitted elegant black dress she wore.  She looked around the bar.  Nicole sat with "H".  Maxine walked over, smiling, dressed casually in black jeans and a brown pullover sweater.  She held the hand of her new friend.  Olivia stood before her.  She leaned against the railing that roped the reserved tables with umbrellas, separating the arena from the bar.  She gazed earnestly into her lover's eyes.  He was just a stranger at the Surf Club a week ago.  Her dark eyes sparkled intensely.  Her reddish brown hair shone richly, had been brushed seductively back from her face.  She was beautiful.
