“Maybe he doesn’t want to go too fast.”
I stop myself, hearing what I’m saying.
Jane nods along.

“Jane was very understanding,” Lucy says, with a note of something in her voice.
Yes, she was. Because I asked her the same way I would’ve asked Lucy’s father if he was still alive.
And I had to warn her about the trip, so she and Lucy didn’t make plans.
I glance over at my woman as we come to a red light.
