SUMMARY: Jason's wife surprises him after she invites Sharon, his
old flame, to spend the evening with them, in bed.

COMMENTARY: This story is somewhat arousing.  As the narrator 
intimates at one point, "this story isn't about my sexual 
escapades."  There are a few parts that I found arousing.  Some 
involved sex and some only the hint of things to come.

This is a well written story.  It is intelligently written and 
does not center around sex, but rather a relationship.  The story
flows, but at the same time the author seems to be trying to fit 
quite a bit into a rather short story.  The characters remain a 
bit mysterious.  They did not seem unrealistic, but I did not get
the feeling that I knew them all that well by the end of the 
story.

This is an interesting read.  It is well written and somewhat 
arousing.  I wasn't too sexually aroused by it, but it did make 
me think.  I have given it a Good.
