As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door, "Guess what？"

I always take a deep【C1】______on this very leading question. "What？" I asked.

"I just won a sales contest at work and the【C2】______is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!"

She was so【C3】______. We knew the restaurant was extremely good. "See？ I told you there would be a【C4】______for me to wear my new spring outfit," she shyly reminded me.

"【C5】______can play at that game," I responded, "I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino-imported straw hat and a new silk tie. We will be well【C6】______." It was early【C7】______and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n)【C8】______of the river. And the table was【C9】______set, with a smoke-gray table cloth and bright colored napkins.

A delicious meal【C10】______in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time. As it【C11】______, this will probably never be forgotten.

"Probably your new straw hat or your【C15】______," she said.

After receiving many smiles, we【C16】______ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the【C17】______. It was then that I saw the【C18】______for all the smiles.

Caught in the fly of my trousers and【C19】______down for all to see was a bright red【C20】______from the restaurant!
