Marc had gone to the restaurant straight from work he got there ten minutes early, it was now five past six so Kate was already late even though she f...inished work early and was going from home. It was now twenty five past six Kate finally walked through the door to greet Marc with the puppy dog eyes she gave him when she was sorry about something he just said come on in a cheeky way he did know she was going to be late as she’ never on time.The waiter showed them to their table, they always. That was when she noticed Jane was there. “Shit I’m sorry, I’m with Mike, there’s nothing going on between Evan and me,” she explained to her. She made no new effort to cover her body.“No worries, Evan and I are just old friends. I do, however, agree with him that you look damn fine. I’m Jane by the way,” she told her, glancing at Evan. “I’m Lisa, the hostess slash bartender at the House.”“So you and Mike finally happened. Congrats, Lisa,” Evan said.Lisa giggled, “Yup, and I lost track of how. ’ She sighed. ‘What’s the problem?’ Jennifer shrugged slightly. ‘Children,’ she said simply. ‘I want them and he doesn’t. You already know how important family is to me. Grant does too, but…I just can’t seem to bring him around.’ ‘I see,’ I said. That was a problem no amount of talking was going to resolve. ‘The sad thing,’ Jen continued, ‘is that I just can’t let go and give up on him.’ ‘I guess the sex must be good then,’ I teased. ‘Oh, yeah, the sex is fantastic! But I want more than that. Cheers,” she said and sipped. I watched as she put the magazine down at her side and looked across at me. It didn’t seem this magazine would ever be read. “You know what we were talking about earlier… ” she started and I looked at her, trying to remember which subject she was now recalling. I cocked my head to one side and raised my eyebrows. “We’ve discussed a few things today, sweetheart,” I said with a smile. She didn’t smile but dipped a finger into her brandy glass and stirred the ice.
