CHAPTER 8

No question that it was Lucien’s car — an old gray Chevrolet sedan with a badly dented right rear fender. And if I still had any doubts, there were the Alabama license plates. Lucien was here — someplace — waiting for me.

I had two immediate concerns. One was that he’d confront me again, because the situation had reached the point where he scared me. And the other was that I couldn’t avoid explaining a foolish part of my past to Gregg. I couldn’t let Gregg just drop me off here, then leave. I needed his presence, his protection.

Explaining about Lucien was embarrassing, but necessary. “I never thought I’d see him again,” I told Gregg. “He just showed up out of the blue. It was just a college relationship that we had, and he never grew up. He thinks we should still be together. ” I tried to make it sound innocent. But, hey, Gregg was no angel, himself. He’d understand.

And he did, or at least he appeared to. “I’ll go up with you and get rid of him,” he said. “I’ll tell him you and I are together now.”

“Are you sure you want to say that?” I said.

“Absolutely.”

I thought Lucien would be waiting in the foyer, but it was empty. I don't know how he got into the building, but he was sitting on the floor of the hallway opposite my apartment door, his back against the wall, with his arms hugging his knees. He looked haggard and dirty.

“I’m back,” he said, still sitting. “I thought maybe we could have dinner — split a pizza like we used to. I’ll stay here with you, so we can talk. There’s so much more I want to tell you.” He was looking up at me. He didn’t seem to notice Gregg at all.

“I told you before, Lucien. We have nothing to say to each other anymore. You have to go home and stop trying to see me,” I told him.

He slowly raised himself to his feet. “I know you don’t really mean that. We have a bond, you and I.”

Gregg stepped directly in front of him, standing face to face. “There’s no bond,” he said. “Whatever happened back in college, that’s history. Kit wants you to go away.”

Lucien looked puzzled. “Kit, who is this?”

“I’m her friend,” Gregg said. “Kit and I are together now. There’s no place for you. Go get into your car and drive away. And don’t come back.”

“I can talk to her if I want to.”

Gregg shoved him toward the elevator door. “She doesn’t want to talk to you. Get out. And if you come back, or ever try to contact her again, you’ll have a fight on your hands. Understand?” He shoved Lucien again, then pushed the elevator call button. The door opened at once. Lucien backed into the elevator, and as the door began to close in front of him, he called out, “I know you still care, Kit.” Then he was gone.

Gregg and I stood in the hallway looking at each other.
