December 12, 1978.
Candy spent that morning getting ready for the long anticipated wait. She dropped off her daughter at the little red Lovejoy schoolhouse on FM Road 1378, then she went on to Allen and dropped off her son at the Play Day Preschool. As she drove herself back home she was going to allow herself about an hour to fix the special lunch she had planned: marinated chicken, lettuce salad with cherry tomatoes and bacon bits, Thousand Island dressing, white wine, and cheesecake for dessert. She wanted everything to be perfect, she packed everything, including a tablecloth, into a picnic basket and then gathered together a few undergarments and a nightgown and slipped them into her purse. She had everything ready by ten-forty-five. At 11 on the dot she was entering Richardson in her station wagon, searching for a motel that was convenient from Allan’s office. And then she found it, the motel was right on the freeway, just two or three minutes away from Allan, called the Continental Inn.
