“What’s on the dessert menu?” a plump woman asked. I swore she was a neighboring rancher, not a guest.

“Chef Armand has prepared my personal favorite.” Dodie paused and lowered her voice. “It’s called Miraculous Better-Than-Sex Cake.”

Amid a burst of laughter, a woman said, “I’ll have a big piece. At my age, cake is an acceptable substitute for the real deal, anyway.”

“It’s better,” another onlooker proclaimed.

“I feel your pain,” Dodie replied. “Trust me, this cake is better than Big Bart, my battery-operated bedtime companion, and that’s saying a lot. For an extra treat during dessert, I will entertain you with rude jokes, and unsuitable anecdotes.”

Callum said, “I want to join that luncheon.”
