stood at the door.
    "Chester? Come back
here...is someone there?"
    He stepped into the light.
She walked to him and wrapped him into her arms.
    He was home. Finally
home.
     
    At seven someone knocked on the front
door.
    Roger answered before Jack had time to
stand up.
    It was Silverman. He introduced
himself.
    “ Princess, you didn’t call
me. But I see you’re making a late call. Emergency therapy? Tucking
Mr. Nolan into bed I see. And you lost your job. News I thought, as
best friends, we would share. I’m hurt.”
    “ Sam is staying with us.
‘Thought it would be safer this way,” Jack was giving him his
panther-in-the-bushes look.
    “ All right. Now, Mr. Nolan,
you are aware that you are taking on security and the risks of
having Jack the Ripper after all of you and your staff, is that
understood?”
    Roger nodded. “Got it covered,
sir.”
    Silverman rubbed his head.
    “ Testosterone just flowin’
in this room—which is a very beautiful thing, I must say. ‘Love the
Indian. Wow. And the chrome tree in the entry. I almost bought one
of those at a yard sale. Okay. Hopefully the next time I talk to
you it will be with good news. Ciao.”
    He whistled as he walked to the
door.
     
    Saturday
    My room, known as the black and white
room, did not feel like home. Home, and the feeling of home, had
been elusive for so very long.
    The smell of bacon drew me to the
kitchen but I did not find Sarah. Instead I found a smiling Fritz.
He poured me a cup of coffee.
    “ Cream, right?”
    “ Right.”
    He handed me a plate with bacon and
toast.
    “ Where’s Sarah?”
    “ She just comes in on the
mornings on Saturdays. She handles this place…and all of us. I
handle the money, I handle Jack’s contracts, I handle the
arrangements. I handle all of our properties we own. You could say
I’m a handler, like in a circus.” He grinned watching
me.
    “ I’m very glad you decided
to stay.”
    He leaned on the counter.
    “ You were gone last night.
Don’t you ever get any time off?”
    “ I had a meeting. But, I
have lots of free time. If I’m traveling with Jack I’m working all
the time. But if it’s like now I can do whatever I want—all the
time--like take beautiful women named Sam out on dates.”
    He kissed me. “You taste like bacon,”
he whispered, coiling tighter around me.
    “ You are very extraordinary
at that,” I whispered.
    “ Thank you. I practice on my
own.”
    I laughed and buried my head in his
chest.
    “ Where’s Jack?”
    “ Working on his lines. He
hates working on his lines. You should avoid him…all day and night
and spend the whole time with me.”
    I laughed. We went outside and walked
through a vegetable and flower garden.
    “ I want you,” he pressed
against me. “I have never wanted a woman like I want you. Come back
to my place. I’ve fixed it up a bit…has a lovely, large bed with
your name on it.”
    “ I saw a psychic you
know.”
    “ I don’t want to sleep with
her--she’d know all my cheap moves before I made them.” He nuzzled
my neck. “I just want to sleep with you.”
    “ She told me that two men
loved me.”
    “ She was bang on the money
there.”
    “ And that I would have to
choose between the two. A very difficult choice, she
said.”
    “ You can’t choose Jack. He’s
your boss. Can’t sleep with your boss. Those things never work.
Don’t you watch the soaps? Besides…what’s wrong?”
    “ I hadn’t thought about Jack
being my boss.”
    Fritz stopped. “Don’t take on too much
at once, love. Just give yourself time. Did I tell you the joke
about the pig in the road?”
    I laughed as we held hands, strolling
back to the house.
    “ I’ve got to go make some
calls…see you in a bit.” He winked and left.
    I heard Jack bellowing my
name.
    “ What, what? What’s wrong?”
I found him in the den.
    “ I didn’t know where you
were.” He smiled.
    “ For heaven’s sakes. I
thought you were hurt.”
    “ We start shooting next
week.”
    “
