    arm away from Lucy and looked her in the eye. "You can tell Megan that she can go to hell. She's just out to make a buck and now she thinks that she can blackmail me into a big payday. Well, you tell her she's got another thing coming." "Frank, I don't know where she is. When I kicked her out of the suite in Palm Springs I assumed she came back here. I haven't heard from her since." I just shook my head and turned to leave. I stopped and looked at Lucy. She was upset that I wouldn't forgive her, but she knew that it was coming. I'll give her credit for taking it as well as she did. I couldn't just leave her like this, though. "Lucy, just so you'll know, when we were together it was good. I thought you were the one, but I guess I was wrong. Please tell me you'll be okay." Lucy's eyes filled with tears once again, but she managed to speak without breaking down. "Just so you'll know, you were the one for me. The only problem was that I didn't listen to my heart. If I had, we might still be together. But I'll never know that, will I?" She got up and handed me my handkerchief back. "You take care, Frank. Maybe I'll ...
    see you around." And, with that, she walked past me and out the front door. She strode purposefully, never breaking stride and never looking back. There was no doubt that she would be just fine. When I got home I took a hot shower. Somehow I thought that the water would help wash away the thought of Megan and what she would do next. I would have to call Rocco in the morning and see if he could locate her. I needed to meet with her and find out what she wanted from me. And tonight at dinner I would have to have another truth-telling session with Jan. She wouldn't like what I would tell her, but she needed to hear the truth from me. My only fear is that she would grow tired of the revelations in my life and decide that maybe I wasn't worth the risk. It seems that every time I'm on the cusp of true happiness, something comes along to either upset the old apple cart or blow it up. I could only hope that the cart could survive another painful hit to it. One thing I was determined to do was to tell Jan the truth. I promised to do that much for her, no matter how painful. I'm hoping that love will win the day once more.
