Description

Frank is in a bank queue when he looks up into the face of the most gorgeous lady he has ever seen. She smiles at him, but it only lasts a few moments as the queue moves. Thinking so much about Sandy (he named her after her hair color), he allowed himself to be pushed toward a gutter at a corner and fell, breaking his wrist. He and his workmate Jim have women on their minds. In the meantime, Sandy has posed for some photos to be published and presented in the Sunday paper. Frank sees the photos and tries to get information, but it is not forthcoming. Jim draws Frank’s attention to an ad in a suburban paper. There is to be a writers’ meeting. Frank goes along and finds Sandy has been invited to speak. He takes her to coffee and makes a date for the following Saturday. He and Sandy go to the Hilton. She invites him to come for dinner. He is captivated by her young daughter who never met her father because he was killed in Afghanistan. He has a couple of meals with them, and one night a wild party starts nearby. Sandy is frightened, so he sleeps on the lounge. He awakens to the fire alarm sounding. He calls the brigade and gets the family outside and starts CPR on the girl. She responds and goes to hospital. The office shifts to the coast. He and Sandy buy a house nearby and get married. Surprisingly Sandy falls pregnant. Khloe starts to ask questions about heaven. In bed frank dreams of Khloe saying she gave him a daughter for saving her life. Sandy also dreams of Khloe saying good-bye. They rush into the other bedroom to find that Khloe has passed away.
