Anat’s bridal shower

Ann came to visit Anat and Jerry. Part of this was mandated to make sure Jerry was okay. Anat was days away from legal adoption approval. Ann noted all was well and suggested they take a walk. Anat wasn’t in the mood to go out.

But listen to Ann she did. She was afraid of jinxing her quest to be a mom. They walked around for about 30 minutes or so and wound up at Strawberry Fields.  Anat loved it there.  They walked up to the Central Park Boathouse. As they walked in Alana, Jen, Dan’s mom and sister and some others surprised her.  She was moved to tears. Marc was on the roof on standby to provide outdoor security. Dan was roaming around the building undercover.  Dan still had no idea of Anat’s powers.  Inside Alana figured she and Anat could handle any issue.

The afternoon moved on.  Great wine was poured and delicious Icelandic salmon was served. All was quiet.  Marc had his eyes on the lake.  He saw Jay in a rowboat. He texted Alana. He decided not to text Anat. He didn’t want to ruin her party. He didn’t bother with Dan. He liked the guy and knew he was strong. But he was no match for Jay.

Marc didn’t want to wait for Jay to exit his boat. He fired pomegranates and honey.  He had a direct hit with the honey his hands started sticking to the oars. Several pomegranate seeds wound up in his eyes. He dropped his oars into the water and panicked. He tried to grab them from the water. But he fell right in. Meanwhile, Alana was watching and shot wine into his ears and nose as he was falling in.

Mordaciously, Anat was talking to her soon to be sister-in-law and sipping chardonnay.  She had no clue what was going on. Marc jumped off the roof and met Alana on the ground. They ran to the docks at the boathouse.  They saw a Central Park staff member rowing out to help Jay.  They did not want this. They fired more of their weapons at Jay while he was bobbing up and down. They tore into his life jacket. It fell off. Jay went under.
