He paused at the door to the dressing room. “Not tonight.”

“But tonight…” Tonight, what? She could not find the words. Tonight was

“You do not lie as well as I do, Matthew.”

“Thank you.”

“I have to tell you… everything. You really should… know.” But she could not grasp

what everything was. What did she have to tell him? What did he have to know? A

moment ago it had seemed so urgent; now it scarcely mattered.

In her fogged mind only one truth surfaced. “You hate my brandy.”

He laughed softly. “I confess, it isn’t exactly to my liking.”

“It is an acquired taste, Matthew.” She rolled onto her side and curled her hands under

her cheek. And murmured in the last second before sleep claimed her, “As am I.”
