Sam Humphries' singular possessive apostrophe

Ali Macgraw & Robert Evans

I set up a lunch date with Love Story’s mentor and star, Miss MacGraw. Damn it, by the time dessert was served, I would’ve made the phone book with her. Do you think she got to me? I can tell you this, I sure in hell didn’t get to her.
She kept on digging into me. Oh, and she was loving it. She keeps on interjecting, all during the lunch, how much in love she was. Then she gives me her last zinger.
“Peter and I are getting married in the fall. We plan to spend October in Venice. Ever been there?”
“Nope.”
“Then wait. Only go there when you’re madly in love.”
That was it for me. I grabbed her arm.
“Never plan, kid. Planning’s for the poor. If anything goes wrong between you and blondie between now and post time…take my number. I’m seven digits away.”
Hate to admit it, but she never called.
