She wasn’t sure what to say to him. She saw two men before her, one that seemed generally distraught over his past and yet there was another, a more sinister man that had ripped apart her well constructed world. Cerise stood there for several minutes, trying to find words.
“I’m sorry your wife died. If I ever loved like that perhaps I would have done anything to wipe out the memories. I don’t know. . .I’ve never loved like that, nor have I been loved like that. You were lucky, believe me for the both of us. . .I am sorry you lost her. I’ll continue to be cooperative while I’m here, then after the week is over, I don’t want to ever see you or Sherri or James again. I’m not your wife, you don’t even like me, nor I you, so let’s just do our best to avoid each other, Tabor. You won’t be reminded of your wife and I won’t be reminded of what you did to me.”
Her lower lip trembled as she turned and headed back to the living room. She sat down on the coach and stared at the wall in front of her. It would be a long week, she realized as she found herself thinking of the man who seemed broken and yet he was so very dangerous. . . in more ways than even Cerise knew; this she was sure of.
