250 RAGE OF ANGELS

Hearing the words from him somehow made it an unbearable reality. “I’m sorry, darling. It-it just happened. It’s difficult to explain.”

“You don’t have to explain.” Jennifer could see the scene clearly. Mary Beth in a provocative negligee-or nakedand Adam”I feel like such a fool,” Adam was saying. There was an uncomfortable silence and he went on. “I got a call this morning from the chairman of the National Committee. There’s talk about grooming me as their next presidential candidate.” He hesitated. “The problem is that with Mary Beth pregnant, this would be an awkward time for me to get a divorce. I don’t know what the hell to do. I haven’t slept in three nights.” He looked at Jennifer and said, “I hate to ask this of you, butdo you think we could wait a little while until things sort themselves out?”

Jennifer looked across the table at Adam and felt such a deep ache, such an intolerable loss, that she did not think she could stand it.

“We’ll see each other as often as possible in the meantime,” Adam told her.

“We-“

He stared at her. “You don’t mean that. I love you, darling. We’ll find a way to-“

“There is no way. Your wife and baby aren’t going to disappear. You and I are finished. I’ve loved it. Every moment of it.”

She rose to her feet, knowing that if she did not get out of the restaurant she would start screaming. “We must never see each other again.”

“Oh, God, Jennifer! .Don’t do this. Please don’t do this!

We–”

She did not hear the rest. She was hurrying toward the door, running out of Adam’s life.
