    after what you did to me." Lucy's eyes began to water over. Her worst fears were materializing and I expected nothing short of hysteria from her. "Frank, I was hoping beyond hope that you would forgive me and we could start over, but in my heart of hearts I knew that you could never do that. It would have been one thing if I just went away for a while by myself, but taking Megan with me was too much, wasn't it?" One lonely tear escaped her eye and rolled slowly down her cheek. I took a handkerchief from my pocket and dabbed at it, then gave it to her. "Yes, Lucy, not standing beside me was one thing, but to run off with another woman was too much to forgive. I can't understand why you did it. Could you please tell me why?" "Megan said you didn't love me the way she did. She was very persuasive, and what she did to me in bed was enough to turn my head. I was weak and she took advantage of my weakness. But then she started telling me all of the things she had done." "What things, Lucy? What did she do? I have an idea she took money from a private investigator for information about us." "She did, Frank. She told me that she had been approached by someone who wanted to find out what kind of dirt was out there on you. She said he paid very well and, besides, she figured that if you were out of the picture she could make a play for me." "That's what I thought as well. Lucy, didn't you trust me enough?

"Frank, I'm so sorry. I wish I could go back in time to stop myself, but I can't. You were so good to me. I should have trusted you, but I listened to Megan instead. When we got to Palm Springs she changed. She told me something else, something she thinks could be worth a lot of money for her." "What was it?" I asked. " What could she possibly have told you that would be worth anything? She lied to get you away from me, so what could she possibly know that could be true, much less worth money?" Lucy looked down at the floor, as if she were ashamed of something. "Lucy, c'mon, I think I deserve that much from you." She looked up. Her lower lip was quivering and the tears returned to her eyes. "Frank, when she told me this I kicked her out of our suite. It was so despicable I couldn't stand to see her anymore. Oh, Frank, I'm so sorry." "Lucy. Please tell me. What was it?" "She told me that she was pregnant." "What? That's preposterous, Lucy. How could she be pregnant?" Lucy looked at me with a sense of dread. Suddenly it hit me. I knew what she was going to say. "Frank, she says it's your baby. She said she hadn't been with any man but you, when the three of us were together. You didn't wear a condom and she says that you are the father." I was stunned. I couldn't believe what Lucy was saying. I pulled my ...
