Chapter 11
It astonished Renee that she and Sandy talked for over an hour and there wasnât a single lull in the conversation. Sandy was responsible for most of the chatter, her dark ponytail bouncing with animation as she treated Renee to tales about her and her brothers as they were growing up. As the minutes went by, Renee started to see John in an entirely new light. Up to now she was sure heâd been born a cop and would die a cop with nothing in between, so it fascinated her to hear that he actually had a normal life. And even though Renee was sure she had criminal stamped on her forehead like a tattoo, not once did Sandy say, and by the way, have you robbed any convenience stores lately?
But best of all, Sandyâs chatter was keeping her mind off the fact that if she didnât go to the bathroom pretty soon, she was going to explode.
Sandy wound down from yet another story and gave Renee a speculative smile. âSo tell me. What do you think of my brother?â
I think heâs going to go berserk when he sees me talking to his sister while Iâm handcuffed to his bed.
âWell, we havenât known each other long, but he seems like a nice guy.â Which was at least somewhat true. He hadnât thrown her in jail. That was pretty nice, wasnât it?
âIs he someone youâd like to know better?â
âUh...yeah. Sure.â
âGood. But I gotta tell you that thatâs not going to be easy. Like I said, heâs way too wrapped up in his job. Heâs got this bad habit of getting right up to the point of actually having a relationship with a woman, and then she complains a little about the hours he works, or that he talks about nothing but his job. He hates that, so then he turns around and does something to piss her off just to get her to leave, or heâll find fault with petty things she does and break up with her. He once sent a woman packing just because she used his toothbrush. Can you believe that?â
Oh, no. She couldnât imagine that.
âHeâll pull that nonsense on you, too, if you let him. But if youâll hold out through all the crap heâs liable to dish out and let him know that he canât drive you away, he might actually see that a long-term relationship isnât the heinous thing heâs always made it out to be, and youâll actually have something together.â
Oh, that sounded like fun. Kind of like crawling on her belly through enemy territory and praying she didnât hit a land mine. âSo itâs as simple as that, huh?â
âOkay, so I made it sound like a descent into hell. But let me tell you something, Alice. Heâs worth it. Even he doesnât know that, but he is. Heâs a very good man whoâs just far too focused on the wrong things in life. But I promise you that if you hang on to him, youâll be glad you did.
