Rosemary
& Dante's Thunderbird
From
The Girl Singer
"When
I stopped at a red light at
the corner of Canon Drive and
Little Santa Monica, I reached
for a tissue."
"It
was the end of the afternoon—rush
hour—so I paid no attention
when a white Thunderbird with
the top down drew up alongside
me in the next lane. I was in
my old blue Corvette, its top
down, too, but I didn't turn
my heard until I heard the other
driver call out."
"'Rosella!'"
"A
term of endearment, Abruzzi-style.
Only one man in the world had
ever called me that."
"Dante
had taken down my phone number
while we were stopped at the
traffic light. With no paper
handy, he'd traced it with his
index finger in the dust on
the T-bird dash. Then he'd called
me so quickly that I figured
he must have gone straight from
the car to the phone. I hadn't
been home more than an hour
when he called. I invited him
to dinner the very next evening."
