By the time Hawk followed Brad and Jenny outside to the front of the church hall, the steps and sidewalk were empty. Furious, swearing vehemently, he turned to go back inside and cut through the back door to the parking lot. Cindy appeared at his side and blocked his path at the open door.

“Let them go, Hawk. Come dance with me.”

“Cindy, get out of my way.” Hawk tried to edge past her, irritated by her obstruction of his departure.

“God damn it, Hawk! You’re not going to dump me after all these years just because you’re fucking her!”

People nearby turned to stare at them. “Shut up, Cindy, and get out of my way,” he ordered in a quiet growl.

She was as obstinate now as she had been for the last half hour. He was fed up with it. He had tried to reason with her, to be kind. He had given her more time than he should have, considering he had met with her a week and a half ago and broken things off with her. He had explained his reasoning to her then and since. She didn’t want to understand his position. She figured he’d change his mind, as she’d always gotten him to do in the past. This time, though, his mind wasn’t going to change. Whatever happened with Jenny, it was over for good between them, he’d told her. He’d finally come to realize they just weren’t what each other needed. Now she wouldn’t drop it. Jenny was upset and about to go off with Brad, and he was damn well going to stop her.

“We’ve been together fifteen years,” Cindy reminded him. “Tom’s darling daughter probably won’t even be here in another week. She’s just going to screw you over anyway. Brad will see to that.”

Hawk looked down at the blonde woman impatiently, angrily. “Enough, Cindy! We’ve been over all this before. Regardless of Jenny, it’s finished between us.”

“Bullshit! It is not over between us!”

Hawk put both hands on her shoulders and firmly moved her aside, then stepped through the door. Once outside he saw Brad opening the door to his car for Jenny. Nearly at a run, he rushed across the parking lot and called her name. Poised in the open doorway of the Mercedes, Jenny stopped and looked over the top of the car at him. He could see there had been tears in her eyes. They were still luminous with them. She was hurt, and she was angry, really angry. He hadn’t seen her look at him like that before. It gave him a jolt. This wasn’t how he’d wanted the day to go, damn it! And damn the Caldwells for their constant infernal interference!

She hesitated long enough to give Hawk a chance to reach her, and when he did, he held out his hand to her, palm up. “Come on, Jenny. Let’s go.”

“I don’t think so, Larson. She asked me to take her home.” Brad moved closer to her and slipped a proprietary arm around her waist.
