should make the affair all the more satisfying.
But what about
Hang on, haven t finished yet. She poked the end of the paintbrush
in her mouth and clamped her teeth about it while she pulled her hair
up into a ponytail.
This doesn t have to lead to marriage, she continued when she d

removed the brush. I know how you feel about that. But why can t you
just enjoy your time with him? It can be as exclusive as you like, but if
you don t move him into your home, you still have control of the whole
thing. See what I mean?
So he can stay over
Just not every night, Cindy interrupted. Otherwise, it gets to be a
habit. Then you could find yourself sliding toward co-habitation and
marriage.
She moved on to the next wall. Beth-Ann followed close behind.
There is one thing, though, Cindy said.
What s that? Beth-Ann grabbed the rag hanging out the back
pocket of her shorts and wiped a drop of fresh paint off her face.

How are you going to handle it if Riley breaks it off? You said he
already seems to have pulled away. You could get seriously hurt here.

Nah, now I m aware of my feelings, I can make certain I control
them. I m not the queen of self-control for nothing. She laid the roller
down on the side of the paint tray. And as far as how Riley feels& She
grinned as a plan burst to life in her mind. Oh, how Machiavellian, but it
was a sure way to find out how things stood with her football jock.
Um, Cindy?
Methinks the girl has a plan. Cindy gave a trill of laughter. So what
do you want me to do?
Can you baby-sit for me?
Huh? Cindy shook her head. What or who do you want me to
baby-sit? In case you didn t realize, you ain t got no kids, honey.
A mischievous chuckle bubbled up out of Beth-Ann. Her mind
worked overtime. Larry said Riley would be back at the site by lunchtime.
Sooo, she just might go visit him. Offer him a picnic lunch and maybe
herself? If she could pull this off, she d know for sure whether Riley
wanted to continue their association.
Seeing as how you don t have to go to work today, she said to
Cindy, how about you look after the painters for me? I think I ll catch
the train into the city and pay a call on my stud.

Cindy grinned. Girl, what are you up to? You have the most evil look
on your face.
Beth-Ann raised her eyebrows and pulled her face into a haughty
look. Evil? Me? No way. I m going to have a shower, find the sexiest bra
and dress I have and go visit Riley.
She started to leave the room, then spun around at the doorway and
waited, hands propped on hips. Her friend didn t let her down.

Okaaay. Bra. Cindy ticked it off on her fingers. Dress, sexy of
course. She held up the next finger. You forgot panties.
Who said I have to wear them?

Chapter Seven
Glad you could come down at such short notice, Seth, Riley said as
he removed his hard hat and ushered his old friend into the site office.
I d hoped to keep the police out of it, but it s way too serious now.
No problem. Seth dropped down into a chair. You re lucky I was on
duty when you rang. Detectives do get time off on occasion. He propped
one booted foot up on his knee and leaned forward. So what can you tell
me?
Riley settled back down on his side of the desk and slid a sheet of
paper across the surface, careful to touch only the corner. He remained
quiet as Seth read the note, silently praying he d know how to stop the
strange happenings at the site.
He and Seth Gallagher had gone through college together and had
remained firm buddies since. Except for that disastrous time just after
Riley had turned twenty-two when he d decided to go against everything
he d believed and had committed to one woman. Though, normally when
the two of them got together, it was to sink a few pints of beer or shoot

Dobre pomysły nie mają przeszłości, mają tylko przyszłość. Robert Mallet
De minimis - o najmniejszych rzeczach.
Dobroć jest ważniejsza niż mądrość, a uznanie tej prawdy to pierwszy krok do mądrości. Theodore Isaac Rubin
Dobro to tylko to, co szlachetne, zło to tylko to, co haniebne.
Dla człowieka nie tylko świat otaczający jest zagadką; jest on nią sam dla siebie. I z obu tajemnic bardziej dręczącą wydaje się ta druga. Antoni Kępiński (1918-1972)
