About this ebook
On a chance meeting on a flight to Paris a professor of philosophy tells a young fashion model an intriguing story of love triangles, infidelities, betrayal, forgiveness which revolve around a desirable young woman who could have been a character out of a Luis Bunuel movie as the one called 'That obscure object of desire'. The story is told against the backdrop of Evangelical Christianity. The dynamics of betrayal, trust, forgiveness, pride, anger, and redemption pose huge ethical and theological challenges to people who are in love and who profess belief in God. Everyone has to work out their salvation in fear and trembling. But this is not so simple in the real world.

Author Biography
As a son of a miner, the author was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. He grew up in the East Rand mining town of Boksburg during the 1960s and matriculated from Boksburg High School. After high school, he was conscripted into the South African Defence Force (SADF) for compulsory national military service at the age of seventeen. On completion of his military service he studied courses in Zoology, Botany and Microbiology at the University of the Witwatersrand. After graduating with a BSc honours degree he worked for a short period for the Department of Agriculture in Potchefstroom as an agronomist. Following the initial conscription into military service in the SADF, like all other white South African males of his generation, he was then drafted into one of the many South African Citizen Military Regiments. During the 1970s he was called up as a citizen-soldier to do three-month military camps on the 'Border' which was the operational theatre of the so-called counter-insurgency 'Bush War' during the Apartheid years. Before and in between university studies he also worked as a wage clerk on the South African Railways and as a travelling chemical sales representative. The author is now a retired professor whose career as an academic in the Biological Sciences has spanned a period of thirty-three years mainly at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. Before retirement, he lectured and carried out research in the field of molecular biology with a special interest in the molecular basis of evolution. He continues to pursue his interest in evolutionary biology. Other interests which the author pursues include radical theology, philosophy, and literature.

SEND HIM MY LOVE
I apologize for blocking you from your seating place. I need to get some stuff out of my cabin bag in the overhead luggage compartment. I will be finished in a minute.
No problem take your time, there is no hurry.
I need to retrieve my book from my cabin bag. I should have taken it out before stashing the bag in the overhead luggage compartment but it slipped my mind.
It's OK, take your time.
There, I am done. I just have to zip up the bag before I put it back
Let me help you, I will put your bag back into the luggage compartment next to mine.
Thanks that will be great. Now you can have your seat back.
On second thoughts, before I become a Jack-in-the-box during the flight, let me also retrieve my cell phone, wallet, and passport from the bag. I’m a bit of a neurotic. I will feel a lot more secure if have them with me, safe in my jacket pockets. Better safe than sorry. I am sure that they will be safe in my bag in the overhead luggage compartment for the duration of the flight, even while I am asleep. However, one can never be certain about anything. When it comes to things like car keys, locking doors, cell phones, wallets, and passports, I suffer from a bit of OCD, but only a very mild version of OCD, otherwise I am perfectly normal.
Don’t worry, I am the same, in fact, exactly the same, I am also mildly OCD.
It’s good to know that I’m not alone. Well, now that that’s sorted, I can rest in peace for the rest of the flight. I hate long boring fights.
Me too.
For complete strangers, we seem to share a lot in common.
Yes, it does seem so. Well, let us not be complete strangers. Let me introduce myself, I am Virginia Penrose, I don’t see any point in us being anonymous strangers, we will be sitting next to each other for the next 12 hours or for however long it is going to take us to get to Paris.
I agree, pleased to meet you, I am Robert Mackenzie. Are you going to Paris on business or on holiday?
A bit of both I suppose. I am a fashion model and I am going to do some work in Paris.
So you are the real Virginia Penrose. I do apologize for not immediately recognizing you. Your name did strike me as somewhat familiar, and your face was very familiar, even though I could not straight away place it. To be honest, I did assume that you were some kind of celebrity.
Yes unfortunately I am the real Virginia Penrose, this is me, this is what I look like in reality, completely unadorned, totally ‘un-photoshopped’, the real me in the flesh, the anonymous and private me.
To be completely honest, I wouldn’t have expected to find someone like you in economy class.
It could not be helped. I had no choice. It was the only seat I could get on this flight, and this was the flight that I had to take. I have to be in Paris tomorrow morning. The trip was totally unplanned. My agent asked
