Sloan crossed her arms and nodded.

"Can't you fight for her? How great can this other woman be? It is a woman, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's a woman. But I'm afraid this is someone I can't fight."

"No one's perfect Sloan," Devon warned. "Not even you."

"In Paris's heart she is. When you hear Paris talk about her, Gabriella was as close to perfect as anyone wants."

"Oh, come on," Devon groaned. "No one is that great. Even gay people have a few faults." He winked at her.

Sloan shook her head. "Not Gabriella Buttichi. She will forever be the perfect partner, the wonder woman in Paris's life." Sloan turned and fixed Devon with a serious stare. "They were together eight years. She died."

"Sweet Jesus," he gasped and clutched at his throat. "That's terrible. Poor Paris."

"How do I fight a perfect memory?"

Devon looked at Sloan with deep concern. "How long has she been gone?"

"I'm not sure, but several years I think. She doesn't talk about it much."

"It sounds like she has carried that grief long enough. She needs to get past it."

Sloan nodded in agreement.

"Sometimes she is open and emotionally available. Then she suddenly changes and shuts me out. It's like the difference between night and day. She becomes a completely different person. I have known her for over thirty years, but sometimes it's like I don't know her at all."

"Sloan, you and Paris knew each other thirty years ago. That isn't the same as knowing someone for thirty years. People change. She may not be the same person you remember from way back then."

"I know, Dev. Sure she's changed. And so have I, but..." Sloan stared at Devon. "She's even better than I remember."

Devon studied Sloan's eyes then allowed a slow smile to draw across his face.

"Sweetie," he said, rubbing her back and smiling proudly. "You show Paris how wonderful you are. Show her your romantic side. No one can stack up to my little sister. I have all the faith in the world in you. How could Paris possibly pass up such a sweet person as you?"

"I wish that were true," she muttered, staring at the floor.

"Sloan, is she the one?" he asked softly after studying her face. "Is Paris the one you have been waiting for?"

"Yes," she replied softly, then let a small smile pull across her face.

He gave her a hug.

"I wish I could stay and talk to you about it, honey," Devon said, checking his watch. "But I have to be back by noon. I'm on the air one to five today."

"I thought you worked in the evening."

"A DJ's work is never done." He gave a dramatic sigh. "I'm filling in for Davy. His wife had a baby last night."

"He's the one that plays that rap crap, isn't he?"

"God, yes. And I have to also. His listeners would have a cow if I played anything with a melody." Devon rolled his eyes. "Take care, Sis. Come up and have lunch with me. I'll take you to Hemmingway's at the Bass Pro Shop.
