" how did you know i was here ?"
" i watched and waited ."
i swallowed the uneven lump of excitement and apprehension , for now that i had gotten to this point , some questions needed to be asked ." what about rose ?"
very carefully , nathan cut the croissant into pieces ." rose is busy with her own life ." he paused ." all things considered , i don't think rose would mind . i've never been her first concern....." he leaned forward and began to feed me the croissant .the sweet crumbling texture dissolved in my mouth and i thought . rose must mad or stupid to be so blind .
" why did you do it ? " asked the forry two-two-year old rose of me , after i had been friends . sweet , sweet frriends .
" you look busy ." . deb sashayed into my office ." anything i should know about ?" univited , she perched on the edge more acutely than men ?"
" god , i don't know ." deb gave an exaggerated shdder . " isn't it all over for the middle aged , whichever sex ? her eyes drifted past me to reception in case anyone sighnificant was waiting .
" i think my husband feels it ."
deb transferred her atteention back to me ." barry says you're a second wife . is he a lot olderd ? is he nice ?"
" he's very nice ." i said flatly ." that 's why i married him ."
