                                                                                Masks We Wear?

After a leisurely Breakfast,… Kitty had delivered to their Room,… She was anxious to take Matt around St. Louis… She absolutely Loved The City in the Fall,… Cool breezes,… The leaves on the trees changing, to brilliant shade of Red, Gold, Yellow, Orange and Brown…she was now excited to take a long walk through the Botanical Garden Park… there were still some beautiful Fall Blooms on display….Matt agreed,…Knowing he wanted so much to make up for so many ,… interrupted trip they had , had over the years.
Walking the several Blocks enjoy the cool air,… they also enjoy walking Arm in Arm… snuggled together, something they didn’t feel free to do back in Dodge ,without prying eyes.  Matt just smiled…Know full well she was enjoying every minute of being back in the Big City….  Pulling her tiny hand to his lips….Kissing the palm of her hand,…” Honey, I’m glad we made this trip!”  Not nearly as much as me Cowboy!... With our track record , well?...she  just raised a brow and rolled her eyes.   Matt mirrored the image.  As they reached the Botanical Garden park,… Oh Matt ,… Look at this …it’s Beautiful!.... Matt just watched her in amazement… Enjoying watching her ,… in her element… “Kitty , Yes You Are!... Oh Cowboy,.. I’m talking about all this ….waving her hand around at all the floral arrangements….Ummm , Yeah… your right … Sorry I was pre-occupied?    Tapping him on the arm, Thank You!... But, I really want you to see this Matt… Ok, Kit …lead the way!  They spent the next two hour viewing the Fall Blooms,… Crocus’, Chrysanthemums, Snowballs,(feverfew) this was something she knew Doc had used for Medicinal purposes. And  Sweet Asylum.   After a bit , Matt leaned in close, Kit, this town you love so Much.. it does have a Restaurant right?  Tilting her head slightly to look up at him… with a smirk, ….        “I should have known you’d be hungry already Cowboy!... Just then, came a voice from a few feet away…      Matt ?  Matt Dillon?... Kitty inhaled deeply… but quickly turned as she recognized the voice…. ”John”?  John Chapman?,..  what on earth are you doing here?  Kitty said with a surprised smile.   “Do you mean Here? Or here in St. Louis?  Now returning her smile pulling her into a hugh hug.   Matt with a slightly twisted smile.   Well, I finally  got this Cowboy away from Dodge on a Vacation!  , And You?   Oh kitty Honey, I come here every Spring and Fall… Just love the shows.  Say,.. Let me take you two to Dinner… Was just thinking about getting something myself?...  Kitty looked to Matt,… We’d Love to John!... Yeah, Sure John we’d Love to!…Matt said… not to happy .. he always suspected John Chapman secretly, harbored a Romantic interest in Kitty… Not that he could blame him,.. but, he wasn’t about to let him move in on her now!....
The Trio, made their way a few Blocks,, to 7th street,.. Both John and Kitty knew St. Louis and it establishment very well….Kitty shall we go to Soulard’s?   Oh yes John ,.. I love it there… then they both looked at Matt,… Food here is wonderful! Matt just shrugged his shoulders… He was just hungry.
After being seated,.. Cowboy, you must try the Smoked Salmon, with Creole Cream… Oh, and you have to try this ,… point to the menu,… at the Baked Brie ,with toasted Almonds.. on pumpernickel Bread….  Matt rolling his Eyes,.. Kit, Fish sounds fine…  but that other stuff is a bit …. Trying to hide the smirk….   I’ll order it and you can try it ok?  Tossing his hands up,… Ok.. why not?
So, John How long will you be in St. Louis?  Matt was hoping he wasn’t staying long.  A few days… I’m here for the Charity Ball … it’s Masquarade  !... Oh How nice.. Kitty added… Yes, it benefits the Medical association.  Stopping for a Moment,… Why don’t you both come as my guest?  Oh John, Kitty and I ….Oh, Matt it would be wonderful… you wouldn’t mind would you? , now looking at him with a soft sultry look ,.. one he couldn’t say No to. Well , I guess if the Lady say yes… But, is the Mask a requirement?  John Laughed… No not really ... maybe just an eye mask?   Also there is someone I’d like you to meet… Oh, who would that be John? Kitty asked Patting the back of his hand. You’ll see Tomorrow night…    They finished lunch, and walked back towards the Hotel…  as they got closer,… Kitty looked at John…..John?.. Are you staying here at the Planter house as well?    Why Yes I am!  What a coincidence? Again Matt rolled his eyes,… and to himself said … Yeah Right … What a Coincidence?!
