"Practice, practice. So you still haven't found the right woman. Pity. A real shame. I have a couple of friends. Well, hell, let's not even go there. Let me ask you a personal question, though. Do you think you're truly over Maria?"

The thing about Sandy, as an investigator, is that she has thoughts that others don't; she explores areas that are often ignored. My wife, Maria, had been murdered over ten years ago in a drive-by shooting. I'd never been able to solve it—and maybe I wasn't over Maria. Maybe, just maybe, I couldn't find closure until I solved her murder. The case was still open. That thought had been tugging at me for years and still caused some pain whenever it entered my head.

"I am totally smitten with Jamilla Hughes," I said. "That's all I know for now. We enjoy each other. Why is that a bad thing?"

Sandy smiled. "I heard you the first time, Alex. You like her a lot. But you haven't told me that you're madly in love, and you're not the kind of person who settles for smitten. Right? Of course I'm right. I'm always right."

"I love you," I said.

Sandy laughed. "Well, then, it's settled. You're staying at my place tonight."

"All right. Fine," I agreed.

We both laughed, but half an hour later Sandy dropped me at my hotel off Victoria Street.

"You think of anything?" I said as I climbed out of the taxi.

"I'm on it," said Sandy, and I knew she was as good as her word, and I needed all the help I could possibly get in Europe.
