* * * *

Jake checked his watch. Her plane was due in thirty minutes. He thought about grabbing a cup of coffee, but he wasn’t sure his stomach could handle it. He felt like a teenager out on his first date. Jake wondered what she’d think of him now. Had he changed much? Would Devlin like the changes? Would she even care? Had she found someone else, someone she was serious about? He was pretty sure she hadn’t, but he’d never had the courage to come right out and ask. Jake grinned. To think that a woman had him sweating like this. No woman had ever gotten the better of Jake McKenna, at least not until a mere slip of a girl named Devlin Barre came along.

Janice had tried to get the better of him one more time. She failed in spectacular fashion. He’d gone to his apartment after leaving Mary and Ken’s, tossed his duffel bag on the bed, and headed to the nearest bar. Jake wasn’t generally a drinking man, but Devlin’s abrupt departure seemed to require something in the way of a mind altering substance. He had been pretty far gone by the time Mike found him four hours later, sprawled over the pool table with a bloody lip. Mike’s face hovering above the eight ball was the last thing he had remembered until the next morning when he woke up in his own bed, his head pounding, clothes tossed carelessly on the floor, horrified to find an equally naked Janice at his side, pretending to be asleep.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” he’d yelled, holding his head in both hands. “Get up, and get the hell out of my bed!”

He’d shaken her arm, and she’d opened her eyes slowly, trying to look innocent.

“What are you yelling about, Jake? Last night was amazing, darling. Just like old times.”

“I don’t know what you’re up to, but it won’t work. Get your clothes on, and get the hell out of here!”

“But Jake, don’t you remember what we did last night? You really don’t remember?”

“I may be hungover, but I’m not stupid. Whatever you’re trying to imply, forget it. I did not screw you last night. I would know.”

“Would you, Jake? Would you really?”

“Yeah. Hell yeah. We didn’t fuck. I can’t smell it. I smell nothing but Scotch. Get out of my bed, now. Before I call the cops and have you arrested for breaking and entering.”

“You would, wouldn’t you! Just like you did to my mom! Mr. Nice Guy, Jake McKenna, sends his girlfriend’s mother to prison!”

“You’re not my girlfriend, and I didn’t send your mother to prison. She sent herself. She aided and abetted a murderer. Now get out, Janice. If you think you’re going to punish me somehow, it’s not gonna work. Get out of my house, and stay the hell away from me!”

Jake had woven his way wearily to the bathroom and slammed the door behind him.

Her voice had come through the door. “How do you know we did it in the bed?”

Jake had puked his guts out for what seemed like twenty minutes.
