He could not tell her age, but she seemed younger than him. He did not want her to think a dirty-old-man had just hit on her. She shook her head. ‘N..., it wasn’t creepy. I kind of liked it.’ She shook his hand and he introduced himself. ‘You’re that Marc, the guy who is in a ménage-a-trois?’ He smiled. She looked him up and down as if she was assessing him. ‘They must be pretty special women.’ He nodded. ‘And you must be a really special guy.’ He smiled and nodded again. Was she hitting on him,. I shook my head, “No.”“Go on up the stairs, first door on the right.”“Thanks.”We walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. Bethany let us into a gorgeous luxury suite.“Wow!” Kathy said.Bethany smiled, “Steve’s travel agent knows his stuff!”“And they accommodated us with a significantly reduced rate because of the Court Martial,” I said. “How are you doing, Sweetheart?”“OK. I went out to dinner with Nick’s parents last night. They’re actually doing worse than I am. Nick’s sister is, in. I light a cig and wait. Finally, the phone beeps. “Cuming to you” and then “hopefully over and over”. God she is such a tease. By the time I finish my cig, I see her walking up the sidewalk to my car. I unlock the doors and she gets in. I look at her and say, “God you look good. If you would have told me where to go, I would have picked you up so you didn’t have to walk.” She replies, “I couldn’t let any of our employees see you. They all know your car and 3 of them live in my apartment. “Ok, I thought Nali and you were mad at each other and were hiding secrets, something you both know I dislike greatly. You especially know that Nali. I think it would be a wonderful idea for you to share with Elizabeth, Nali, clearly you have thought this out.” Ray said happy that they were getting on with each other as well as they were. If they were going to share the body he damn sure hope they were on good terms.A new respect for Elizabeth was starting to form in Nali she hadn’t thought of.
