“But that’s a good sign,” Loretta exclaimed.

“That’s what I told her. That’s what I keep telling myself, that it’s just a matter of time before she remembers everything.”

“I kind of miss having her around.” Loretta took a sip of her coffee and then continued. “She was good company. She has a great sense of humor. I like her.”

“Yeah, well, it won’t be long before she’s back where she belongs.”

“Maybe she shouldn’t go back where she belongs,” Loretta said. “I mean, she ran away for a reason.”

Lucas frowned with a touch of irritation. He didn’t want to think about that. He had to hang on to the idea that someplace out there Jane had a safe place to go and people who cared about her. “I’m just ready for this all to be over. I need to get back to my life.”

Loretta crooked one of her dark eyebrows upward and smiled ruefully. “What life?”

“Ha, ha, very funny,” Lucas replied drily.

“I’m not trying to be funny. You have my life and you have your partners’ lives, but you don’t have much of one of your own.”

“It’s a little early in the morning for a Dr. Phil moment,” he replied. “Have you seen anyone suspicious lurking around the apartment building over the past couple of days?”

“No, and I wasn’t finished talking about you,” she replied. “Seriously, Lucas, at least it was nice to see you interacting with Jane. You like her. I know you do. I could tell by the way you looked at her. I know she probably has a life to get back to, but it’s all made me think about how much I wish you’d find some nice woman to be a part of your life.”

“I don’t need anyone in my life,” he replied. “Besides, you’re one to talk. When was the last time you had a date?”

“Actually, I have one this Friday night.” She smiled smugly.

Lucas leaned back in his chair and narrowed his eyes. “With who?”

“He’s a really nice guy who works as a lab tech at the hospital. We’ve been spending our breaks together for the last month or so, and he finally asked me out.”

“What’s his name?” Lucas asked.

She shook her head. “Oh no, you don’t. You are not going to check him out through whatever nefarious means you might have. I’ll tell you his name on the day of the wedding.”

Lucas stared at her in stunned surprise. “It’s that serious?”

She laughed. “Not yet. But I am serious about you staying out of it.” She leaned forward and covered one of his hands with her own. “I love you, Lucas, but you have to give me a little breathing room to find my own way when it comes to romance.”

He knew she was right. “Just be careful. Make sure you go someplace where there are other people.” He bit his tongue before a full-blown lecture could escape. “And have a good time.”

She smiled gratefully. “Thank you. I plan on it.”

“I’ve got to get out of here,” he said with a check of his watch.
