Edna had agreed to have dinner with Frank that evening. Frank said he just wanted to see how she's been doing and catch up on things. It was going to be a friendly dinner but Edna knew how their one or two friend dinners turned out with them under her sheets.
Frank was outside now with a cab waiting for Edna. She didn't want to dress to fancy so she wore a black strapless gown. The night was cold and she didn't want to get a real cold this time so she a black shawl over it.
