George raised his glass with his wife's toast, "Cheers!"  George looked around the room and saw happy faces everywhere.  His wife's usual stoic countenance was smiling happily, a vision he hadn't seen for some time and Fred had a look on his face halfway between confusion and amazement.  And why shouldn't he, he had just gotten a wonderful offer from Beth.  George missed the significance of it a little, but he knew that it was a very good thing.<br/><br/>George went over to where Beth reclined on the chaise.  "Thank you, Beth.  And if you don't mind I am dying to hug someone and you deserve a giant hug for what you just did."  George put a knee on the lounge and pulled Beth into a bear hug.  It was not intended in any sexual manner, but George could not help but notice again what a lovely woman Beth had turned into as he felt her curves up against him.  He held the hug for an appropriate moment and then stood again, turning, "Well, I think that concludes the business portion of our evening, now it's time for pleasure.  Shall we begin with some food?  Then maybe a game?"
