Chapter 6

Marco hadn’t known that all of that had been lurking in him still. He had thought he had moved on.

He had never told anybody most of what he had just told Janet. He had never admitted most of it to himself. He had driven himself hard, achieving more and more, for his father. It had been his father’s name to make their company famous. He had wanted it to be in every American home, a touch of Italian mystery in their lives. So now he had done it, and he wished, more than anything, he could have shared that vision when his father had been alive.

He held Janet until he felt the sharpest edge of the pain fade away.

There was a tap on the partition between them and Jimmy.

“Marco, if you don’t want us to get a ticket, you’ll have to step out or I’ll have to drive around the block again.”

Janet was startled. How long had they been in there?

“Again? You’ve already circled the block?”

“About six times,” confirmed Jimmy.

Janet wondered at how quickly time had flown with Marco.

She felt those warning bells ringing at the back of her mind. This was dangerous. She was getting far too attached to Marco again. Her plan had been to have sex with him, and be friends. Well, she had definitely had sex with him. It looked like they were on their way to being friends. But it also looked very much like she was developing feelings beyond friendship for him.

She would have to put a stop to it, Janet told herself. It was just an echo of everything she had felt for him so long ago. Now, when he had opened up to her, she had felt as if she was that girl again, listening to his dreams and his despair.

So she would remember that they were both different people now, and she would hold herself back.

They were seated at a corner table – Janet had always preferred that, remembered Marco – and were given a wine list.

“The lady will order for us,” said Marco, surprising Janet.

Well, apparently they were taking turns ordering for each other. She could live with that. Remembering what he had always liked, she stayed away from the Italian and ordered him a steak. She ordered herself the fish.

Marco raised an eyebrow at her.

“You’ve always been disdainful of Italian food outside of your own home or restaurant,” Janet pointed out.

“Yes, I know. I’m just surprised that you remember that.”

Janet looked away.

“I remember everything, Marco. It doesn’t mean that I feel the same way. I remember how you left, too.”

Her words and voice were much sharper than she had intended it to be. Janet knew she was angry with herself, not with Marco. She had felt her heart soften when she held him. She couldn’t allow that to happen, so she had been cruel now. Needlessly.

“I’m sorry, Marco. That was uncalled for,” said Janet.

Marco shook his head. His face had hardened.

“I’m beginning to realize that you will always remember that.
