Dr. Kern didn't say much, he was
famous for his blunt and sometimes callous remarks. He seemed to
study her, as if collecting his thoughts. "I take it this bothers
you that you're not like your friends?"
    Bianca nodded. "It's been such a long
time since I have even had a date, much less a sex
life."
    With that last remark about sex, Bianca
was certain that she would garner a response from Dr. Kern, but
nothing. Nothing she ever said seemed to stir any emotion from him.
He was as hard as her kitchen floor. Presumably, he had heard
everything and graduated past the stage of shock.
    "Is that what this is about?" Dr. Kern
asked, "Sex?"
    "It's about a lot of things. I just
don't fit in. I know I sound like a teenager, but ever since my
family died, I have turned into this terribly boring person, even
more so than before. I live a boring life."
    She hoped for some type of disagreement
from Dr. Kern, but instead, he said nothing as if waiting for her
to continue.
    With a slight smile, Bianca said, "I
think about changing, changing everything about myself."
    "You mean doing things only your sister
would do?"
    "That's exactly what I
mean."
    This fantasy of hers would probably
never materialize, but it warmed her spirits just to even consider
it.
    "We talked a little about this before,"
Dr. Kern said. "You don't think that would be a drastic
move?"
    "Drastic is exactly what I want, Dr.
Kern. Drastic. My 1ife needs to be shaken up a bit. I need some
excitement which is exactly what's missing."
    "And then what?" he asked very
calmly.
    His question threw her for a spin and
her head dropped. "Excuse me?"
    "I'm just wondering after you take on
this new persona, then what? What happens after that?"
    It never crossed her mind what would
happen afterwards, mainly because she failed to explore the idea
that far into the future.
    "I don't know," she said. "I guess I
won't know until it happens."
    As excited as she was about the idea,
it frightened her just the same, but not enough to completely erase
the thought from her head.
     
     
    Bianca enjoyed her periodic trips to
the art store where Lee worked. Lee was a successful entrepreneur
and co owner of a class-A art store called Pheneek. He had invested
his money religiously when he worked as a salesperson, and his hard
work and laser-beam focus had paid off big time.
    Once Bianca seized a pack of paint
brushes and a set of neon watercolors from the shelf for her
Tuesday evening art class, she searched down the brightly lit aisle
for Lee. But he was nowhere in sight. Although Lee was co-owner of
the art store, he chose to work there as if he was a struggling
salesman, and Bianca always respected him for that.
    Bianca reached the check-out point and
placed her items for purchase on the counter, and to her surprise,
she felt a presence behind her, leaning against her back. Upon
turning around, she saw that it was Lee.
    "Hey, Sunshine," he said, then kissed
her cheek.
    Flattered by his pet name for her, she
just didn't understand his interest in her. She was nothing like
her sister, the woman he was supposed to marry. Her sister was
exciting, beautiful and very feminine, whereas, she was dull and
plain looking to the nth degree. There was obviously something
there that Lee witnessed that she couldn't see.
    "I was looking for you," Bianca said
with a warm smile.
    "I know. I saw you when you came
in."
    "Really? So you were watching me?
Checking me out?" she asked, flattered.
    "Is that okay?"
    "Well, it is your store."
    Lee smiled and then instructed the
salesgirl at the register to take her break before stepping behind
the register. "Now, how can I help you?"
    "Well, I did kind of like the way you
stood behind me. That was nice." It was just so easy for her to
flirt with him.
    "Well, I'm sure I can do something
about that."
    Bianca pulled her wallet from her purse
and said, "How is it that every time I reach this register, you're
always here?"
    "Luck, I guess."
    For as long as Bianca could
