Sighting
After two weeks of waiting, the night of the state dinner had finally arrived. Tony had passed the time trying to keep his thoughts of Control under control but had not been particularly successful. And the past few days since Control had shared the news of his wife's leaving had caused particularly vivid thoughts to spring up in Tony's mind.
Tony was at the banquet, circulating through the happy hour crowd with a tray of champagne. He had been scanning the crowd for Control, looking for him to be dressed in the same waiter's uniform as he was himself. But so far, Control was nowhere to be found.
How odd, thought Tony. Control must be late, although that's not very like him at all. Perhaps I should ring him to make sure that nothing has happened to him. He began devising a plan to leave the crowd without being missed from the serving staff.
Suddenly, Tony's breath caught in his throat. There was Control, just entering the room. He looked deliciously handsome in his tuxedo, his dark silky hair falling ever so attractively over his forehead, a cigarette in his hand.
Tony was having trouble sorting his jumbled thoughts. Control was obviously undercover as a guest, which Tony hadn’t expected. He also hadn't expected to be so overwhelmed at the sight of Control. And he certainly hadn't expected to see a beautiful woman on his arm.
He had no idea who she was; he'd never seen her before. I can only surmise, thought Tony wistfully, that this is the person Mrs. Control mentioned in her letterControl’s true love. They certainly look very happy. Control seems to be hanging on her every word. Tony let out a deep sigh.
Just then he wished he were anywhere but where he was.
