“She’s deeply concerned about your cheating on her son. If you could just reassure her that you’re being faithful to your husband—”
“If I do that, Reverend, I’d be lying.”
“Are you saying that you—”
“We all have our dirty little secrets, don’t we?” She winked at him.
He gulped again.
“You keep my secret and I’ll keep yours,” she said.
“And we’ll both burn in hell.”
“You think you’ll burn in hell because of one little kiss?”
He shook his head. “I lusted after you in my heart. I still lust after you.”
“Do you now?”
“Thinking a thing is as bad as doing it.”
“Well, if that’s the case, then why don’t you stay?”
When she tried to touch him, he held up his hands to fend her off. “No.”
She reached around him and opened the door. “Then good night, Matthew, and thank you for stopping by. Come back anytime you’re in the neighborhood.”
He turned and practically ran from her, onto the porch and down the sidewalk. She slammed the door and laughed. Poor fool. He’d probably rush home and jerk off as quick as he could. Wonder if jerking off is a sin? Probably. But not as big a sin as screwing a married woman.
Twilight shadows danced across the backyard, over trees and shrubbery, across flowers and grass. As she headed out the kitchen door, balancing three glasses of lemonade on a small plastic tray, Bernie flipped the switch that turned on the back porch light. True to his promise to move back in with Jim, Kevin had returned to his father’s duplex apartment four days ago and from what she could tell, the two were getting along okay. Keeping her end of the bargain, she had invited Jim and Kevin to dinner at her house this evening. They’d eaten supper nearly an hour ago, but had just finished cleaning up in the kitchen and feeding Boomer a few minutes ago. Kevin had taken Boomer outside to play, while Jim carried lawn chairs out into the yard, where he and Bernie could sit and talk.
When she approached Jim, he reached over and took the tray from her and placed it on the third chair, which was empty since Kevin was busy chasing Boomer all over the yard.
“Sit down and rest,” Jim said. “You have to be tired after putting in a full day at the office, and then cooking us a great supper.”
When Bernie sat, Jim picked up one of the glasses off the tray and handed it to her, then took one for himself before sitting.
While watching Kevin frolicking with Boomer, Bernie took a sip of the sweetly tart lemonade. “Kevin needs a dog of his own.”
