“So you knew Martin from before?” “Yes. Dell introduced us. I did dinner with them once or twice and I was over at his beach house a few times. But by then I had pretty much given up on Dell; she had her home-life plus Martin on the side. There didn’t seem much room for me. But on a layover in Nevada, things changed. She turned up at my hotel room one night and, excuse my language, f****d me silly. I couldn’t figure the change in her but I wasn’t about to complain. And I was in love all over again.” Martin! Kathrine thought. She knew Martin all too well; recognized his handiwork. Dell had gone to Cade’s bedside at Martin’s insistence. He and Dell were up to something and Kathrine was beginning to get an inkling in the back of her mind. “We’ve been off and on ever since,” Cade continued.
