And everybody else, what brings you to my back door?" asked James."We'd like a private word with you and Jenny." About what she told you last night?" ...es and about what I promised."James sighed. "OK, I'll go and get her but I really don't think we're going to get anywhere."Ginny let it hang. James collected Jenny who smiled wanly at them and they all trooped upstairs to the sitting room."Thanks for letting us in," began Ginny. "Thank you, Jenny, for telling me your sad news. I made a promise. .. trying to give the impression he was looking to see where the waitress was and what she was doing. She still hadn't brought them their drinks. Ashley looked up at him and smiled."Staking out your territory, big guy?" she asked him in an amused tone. Brad glanced at her. He wasn't smiling."Do I need to?" he asked bluntly. Ashley's face fell. She folded her hands on the tabletop and studied her painted fingernails for a moment."I'm sorry," Brad said at last. "I really am... but those men were. The right clothes. The right body shape. But he was usually gay." Then there were the transgender crowd I met when I sang st that bar in Frith Street in Soho. They were fun to be around. They dress beautifully and usually have superb figures which they've spent a fortune on, breast implants, the works. Ordinary people would not pick them straight away but would think there is something different about that woman without realising what it was." I fell in love with one for one night last April",. . that's just crazy talk, I mean shit I remember you tellingme how much you loved her, I'm sorry but it just hurt." Yeah, well that's pretty much how I feel when you talk about having sexwith other people. It hurts."She grimaced. "Jesus Mi I didn't know that, I guess I didn't realize, Ihave never experienced jealousy before, or even understood why peoplefeel it. Believe it or not this is my first real taste and I have tosay, I don't like it."She jumped into my lap and we hugged.A little while.
