Later that evening, after they said their goodbyes to the mayor and Belle Patrone, they took a fast drive back to their temporary home in suburbia. Reno stared straight ahead as he drove, as if he was doing some heavy-duty thinking, but Trina kept looking at him. She was amazed that he didn’t bring up his encounter with Belle at all. Not at all. And it angered her. She wanted to tell him about his behind, especially after he allowed the mayor to take her to see some African collection she didn’t even care about, while he disappeared into some room with beautiful Belle. But she knew Reno would only fight her fire with even more fire. She, instead, decided to take a different course.

“She seemed nice,” she said.

Reno continued to stare ahead, and continued, it seemed to Trina, to be distracted. “She’s all right,” he said.

“All right? I think she’s a little more than that. She’s beautiful. And she’s nice.”

“Yeah, well, I don’t want you getting too cozy with her.”

Trina looked at him. “And why’s that?” she asked him.

“Whatta you mean ‘why’s that?’ Because I said so,” he said and glared at her. “That’s why.”

But Trina was shaking her head. “Not good enough, Reno. Why is it that I can’t get cozy, as you put it, with Belle? Why not?”

“Because I know her and I want you to stay away from her.”

Trina looked at him. Finally they were getting somewhere. “You know her?”

Reno hesitated. “Yeah.”

“You know her how?”

“Whatta you mean how? I know her.”

“What I mean, Reno, is in what way do you know her? Did she used to be your girlfriend?”

Reno didn’t respond.

“Reno, was she your girlfriend?”

“Girlfriend, girlfriend,” Reno said with a hunch of his shoulder. “What’s a girlfriend? I fucked her.”

Trina’s heart dropped. She suspected that was the type of relationship they had had, but it still hurt to hear. “Once?” she asked him.

Reno looked uncomfortable.

“More than once?”

Reno nodded. “More than once,” he said and glanced at her. “A lot more. We go way back.”

Trina frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me this?”

“When was I supposed to tell you anything? The mayor didn’t let us out of his sight the entire night. I wasn’t discussing my personal life in front of that clown.”

“But yet you can go into some private room with this longtime friend you used to fuck. The mayor wasn’t around then. You found a way to get away with her, but you couldn’t give me that same consideration?”

“That’s nonsense, Tree, and you know it.”

“It’s not nonsense!”

“So what are you trying to imply? That I took her into some room to fuck her? Is that what you’re trying to say?”

“That’s not what I’m saying at all.”

“Then what the fuck are you saying? I told your ass we were old friends! She wanted to talk to me. So we went and talked. Why the fuck you trying to turn it into something it’s not?”

“Because I want to know what’s going on, Reno. I want to know why she showed up at my store the other day asking if I was your wife.
