SUMMARY: Jack just graduated high school and is still a 
virgin.  He desperately wants to lose his cherry.  Based 
upon information provided by one of his friends, he is 
hopeful that his sister's wedding will put his girlfriend 
"in the mood".  Unfortunately, things don't work out quite 
the way he had planned.  Jack's girlfriend is a no-show, 
although she does have a reasonable excuse, and he gets 
paired up, at the reception, with Tina, one of his new 
brother-in-law's older cousins.

COMMENTARY: Great story.  I love the part that takes place 
at the dance.  It is entirely possible that I am biased 
towards this sort of story, i.e. older woman initiates 
younger man, but I still think that there is much more to it 
than just sex.  The author does a very nice job building the 
story up, so don't be fooled by the first few paragraphs, 
because as I just said there is much more to it than just 
sex.  The scene that the title refers to is priceless.  I 
enjoyed the dialogue and the characters.  The plot is very 
nicely paced.  I think that this story should appeal to 
most.
