The next day, over breakfast, Jenna told Mack that he really ought to consider getting in touch with his sisters.

He said, "I think that's my decision to make."

"But—"

"Let it go, Jenna. It's not for you to decide."

Though she pressed her lips together in obvious disapproval, she did let the subject drop.

Then, after breakfast, she suggested that she and Mack should take Alec and Lois out that night.

Mack tried to demur. It was about time they had a damn evening alone, he thought.

But Jenna wouldn't let it go. "Call him. He had us over to his house last night and I'm sure it'll be good for him, to get out for a while."

"Did it ever occur to you that maybe he's not in the mood to get out?"

She picked up the phone and shoved it in his direction. "Ask him. Let him answer for himself. And let him choose the restaurant. Someplace he feels comfortable."

Mack let her stand there for a count of five, holding out the phone and glaring at him. As he made her wait, he indulged in a moment of nostalgia, recalling how sweet and malleable she'd been when she was younger.

Then, with a heavy sigh, he gave in and made the damn call. Alec said that he and his sister would love to go out to dinner with them.

"Now what?" Mack asked, after he'd called the restaurant Alec had chosen and learned that reservations would not be required. "I suppose you have something really constructive planned for today."

She pinched up her mouth at him. "You have some problem with constructive activities?"

"Hell, no. But I'd rather take it easy, enjoy ourselves, just you and me."

"Well, actually, I was thinking..."

"Stand back."

"Very funny. Remember that day we drove down to Seal Beach?"

He did. "It was a Sunday, I think. In June. We had a day off and no money and we got in the car and headed south. We had our swimsuits with us. We changed on a side street, right in that old Chrysler I had. Remember? You made me stand guard while you were changing, though you never did explain to me what the hell I was supposed to do if someone dared to peek in."

She laughed. "Lord. I remember that."

It had been a good day, one of the last of the good days, as a matter of fact. Not long after, Mack had taken the job in New York.

Mack said, "Seal Beach is damn easy to get to from here."

"That's just what I was thinking."
