He studied her. He didn't really want to reveal how he'd hated thinking of her in Jason's arms. It proved that everyone who claimed he was jealous was right. And it would let her know she'd been successful in making him feel what she'd been hoping he'd feel. But they were kids back then; he was too old to play games like that now. "You have to ask?"

She raised her hands in a defensive posture. "It had nothing to do with me."

He muted the television. "How do you know?"

"Because you couldn't have cared less about me. I understand that--

now that I'm not so naive and stupid."

"What, you've slept around enough to become an expert?"

"No, but I have enough experience to know when to take something seriously and when to let it go."

She didn't know anything. Like his father and everyone else, she simply assumed the worst.

Shaking his head, Cain turned back to the television. "Don't tell me what I feel."

"I couldn't begin to guess what you feel. I'm just trying to figure out how to prove you weren't in the vicinity when that shot went off," she insisted.

"There's no way to prove it."

"Why not?"

"Because no one saw me from when I said I was leaving until I showed up at home after it was all over."

The phone rang. Using that as an excuse to remove himself from the conversation, he grabbed it. "Hello?"

"Cain? It's Tiger."

Not someone Cain wanted to speak to so soon after what'd happened.

Tiger had to be as broken up as Ned. He'd cared about Amy, maybe even loved her. "Tiger," he responded, swallowing a heavy sigh.

"I just, I wanted to--" Tiger's voice cracked "--to ask you something."

Cain gripped the phone tighter. Here we go again. "What's that?"

"Did you call Amy last night? Did you ask her to come over?"

"No."

"That's what I thought." Tiger chuckled without mirth. "Would you believe she was supposed to be getting me some beer? I was sitting on her couch watching a movie while she sneaked over to your cabin."

Cain didn't respond. Nothing he could say would make the situation any better.

"Why is that?" Tiger asked. "Maybe you can tell me."
