I scrubbed the old-fashioned porcelain-topped table and put a clear glass lantern with a candle in it in the middle. I knew there was nothing I could do to make the living room look much better, so I tidied it a bit and then forgot about it. By 5:45 everything was just about ready. I was frying the last of the potatoes when I heard Edward's knock. Taking the skillet off the heat, I ran to the back door and welcomed him in. 'Here,' Edward said, handing me what was obviously a bottle in a brown paper bag. Peeking inside, I saw it was another bottle of some kind of red wine. 'How nice of you,' I said, 'but unnecessary. I too have bought a bottle of wine.' 'Then we shall drink well tonight,' he said. 'Something smells good,' he remarked as we entered the kitchen. 'I didn't fuss,' I replied. 'It's a very simple meal.' 'That's fine with me,' he said, and turning, spied the antique table with the glass lantern sitting on it. 'Oh, now this is charming,' Edward murmured, almost to himself. He seated himself at the table, asked for pencil and paper, and upon receiving them began to draw. 'Don't tell me you're going to paint my kitchen,' I laughed. 'Not literally,' Edward smiled. 'But yes, it's an intriguing tableau, so different from the kinds of scenes I usually depict.' We had a wonderful evening. Around ten Edward pushed back his chair, arose and said, 'I must go. I have that damnable lecture tomorrow and I have a few notes yet to go over before I can get to bed. When I've painted your kitchen, I'll send you a photo.''I look forward to it,' I said as I walked him to the door. Thank you for the food and the company,' he said, and he was gone.Three weeks later the mailman left an envelope stiffened with cardboard and the words 'Do not bend' scrawled front and back in Edward's bold hand. Carefully I ripped it open, and found the photo of the painting. Here it is.
