Chance dimmed the lights and put on Barry White's "Can't Get Enough" album. The Contessa would be arriving shortly. It was time.

Time for time-sensual rice.

There was a soft knock on the door after an hour's worth of preparation. Chance twirled the bottle of Pol Roger champagne in the ice bucket and smoothed his favorite smoking jacket. He opened the door to a black Halston draped perfectly over olive shoulders and toned legs so long that they required separate passports when traveling.

"I had...the time," Chance said firmly, closing the door to the world and its problems.
