“I’m sorry that you found out he was a liar. But you can’t say I didn’t warn you.”

“I can’t believe he lied to me about where he was. I can’t even get in touch with him. Where the hell was he?”

“Richie was in on it, too. I could see it in his face.”

“Damn straight. Did you see the look on his face when we walked in? Like the Feds were busting him for coke or something. He knew. He and Sergio are up to something.”

“Jeannie, you gotta face facts. The man is cheating on you.”

“Why would he do that? He knows I love him. Why would he need to go to someone else?”

“Because the man is a scumbag, and he knows he can get away with it because you’re too nice. You have to learn to play dirty in this world, sweetie.”

“What do I do now?”

“Go there tonight and confront him. Maybe he’ll be strung out with his hootchie.”
