They ate dinner in the dining room in the soft amber light of the stained-glass lamp over Lucy’s big oak

dining-room table. They talked about his family and hers and about their jobs, moving in front of the fire

to the love seat with their coffee when dinner was done. The hours passed, and they lost all track of time,

sitting and laughing in the firelight. The only interruptions were two phone calls, both hang-ups that made

Zack uneasy. He didn’t discuss them with Lucy, and he made a conscious effort not to talk about either

one of the Bradleys or the case, and he watched while all the tension drained out of her, and she smiled

and laughed with him.

Maybe when this was all over, maybe then he could call her. Maybe they could go out, or just stay in

and laugh.

Maybe when this mess was out of the way, and she was over Bradley, they could make love.

Maybe even fall in love.

It was a terrible thought because it appealed to him so much.

Falling in love meant commitment. Commitment meant marriage. Marriage meant responsibility and

adulthood, which led to loss of instincts and old age and death. Or at least children.

Einstein poked his cold, wet nose at Zack’s hand.

And dogs.

He looked around him, at the big old warm house, and the three dogs that were draped comfortably

over his legs and snuggled next to Lucy, and most of all be looked at Lucy.

He’d be a fool to fall for her. She was a forever kind of woman, and his idea of forever was a three-day

weekend.

Lucy looked up and caught him staring at her.

“Zack?” Her eyes were huge in the firelight, and her lips were soft and full, and without thinking, helpless

with wanting her, he bent and kissed her.
