This is ridiculous, Ginny was thinking a few minutes later. How many women are there in his past? And how many more will there be in the future? her treacherous mind answered her. She didn't know what to think, whether she was more amazed or angry.

After the gypsy girl had flung the rose she'd followed it herself, her stride as purposeful as any man's, her hair swinging about her shoulders like a mane. There was a sudden silence and the crowd parted for her--for a moment Ginny had actually wondered if this crazy female was going to do something violent, and she had instinctively shrunk backwards. She had felt Steve's arm drop from around her shoulders--somehow, he had caught the rose, and he was actually grinning. How well she knew that teasing, mocking note in his voice--she was inexplicably resentful that this time it was there for someone else.

"You dance as well as ever, Concepci6n. And you're still a beauty. But where's your husband?"

The girl's eyes slitted like an angry cat's, and she looked ready to claw as she stood before Steve with her bare feet.

"Hah! And you, my fine caballero! Since when have you let a little thing hike a husband stop you from visiting old friends? Husband!" She put a wealth of contempt into the words, "You know very well I only marry him because I am so mad at you--you..." the girl broke into a string of obvious epithets in dialect that made Ginny's ears burn, and caused Diego to burst out laughing. But surprisingly enough, even as she continued to berate him Concepcion flung herself against Steve, her arms going upward, hands pulling his head greedily down to meet her mouth. And he kissed her back, very thoroughly too.

Seething with a fury she was barely able to contain, Ginny found her hands clenching into fists at her sides, she must have made some motion, or emitted some sound that warned Diego, for suddenly he was holding her by the elbow, whispering to her that she must understand that Esteban had known Concepcion since childhood...they were merely old friends...

"Oh, yes," she insisted, "I can see what kind of friends they are--he has been kissing her for over two minutes now, what kind of a stupid ninny do you take me for?'' She turned on the hapless Diego with her green eyes slashing him like daggers. "And you, senor--will you kindly stop defending that despicable man you call your friend? Let him defend himself for a change! Look at him, far from being embarrassed he's enjoying it. Ooh!" She stopped to draw breath, and happened to notice the small, silent knot of men who were converging on Steve and the girl like a band of avenging angels. One of them, she saw with satisfaction, was the girl's father--he of the large mustachios.

"Your friend is uh--rather irresponsible, is he not?" the quiet American murmured behind them. Ginny, in spite of her rage, was glad to note that his thin face looked disapproving.
