Colleen saw me raise my


     eyebrows, and she paused, trying to

     understand what I was saying.


     “You see,” I said, “with his

     reputation of cheating and lying,


     what happened doesn’t matter as

     much as what his wife thinks

     happened.  If he would cheat on you


     with her, why wouldn’t he cheat on

     her with you?”


            Colleen grinned.  “So you mean,

     let her think that he has ulterior


     motives for coming up here?”

            “Maybe it is a little


     underhanded, but what he is doing

     is unfair.  You won’t have to lie.


     With his reputation, even a simple

     thank-you will cause her to question

     his excursions.”
