Chapter 36
They are doing a splendid job, Frannie thought as she smiled from ear to ear. She sat back and watched all of the hard work that she and Kevin put into this. The performances on a whole were flawless and worked perfectly. Not a single mistake had been made, well, nothing serious anyway until she saw Johnny and Baby getting up from their table right before the mambo scene.
She tried to follow them, but the dancers started to crowd around her and ask questions about the scenes that she thought had been filled. She was starting to wonder again if Johnny made any more changes to the dancing without telling her.
Frannie returned backstage to watch the show and noticed that the mambo scene at the Sheldrake was the same as always. She had used her two top dancers, Michelle and Zach and was very happy that they were still in it. But her parents were up to something and she took a guess at what it might be.
She would find out in a half an hour.

“Well,� Johnny asked Baby, “how does it look?� He was showing off the new 50’s hairpiece he had found.
“You look just like you did back in ’63, Johnny,� Baby said, smiling. “You still look good for your age.�
Johnny smiled at that. “And you my love, looked extremely pretty in that lovely dress. You haven’t changed at all.�
The excitement had pumped them up and the two of them were ready for anything that came their way.
“Come,� Johnny said, taking Baby’s hand and putting it through his arm. “Let’s get out there and show them that we still have it in us.�
And they walked out arm in arm to take their places at the tables, awaiting their big scene.
