as they made their way onto the
first hole but only momentarily. “And you’re sure she’s back with him? It hadn’t
worked between them before, right? It’s why she was with you.”
    “I have no idea if she’s with him still or not,” Lorenzo said,
surprised by how little he cared anymore, “but she decided she wanted him back
in her life even before we’d broken up.”
    He took a few warm-up swings before setting up for his first putt
of the day, feeling that familiar heat seep in again. Okay, maybe he didn’t
care if Linda was still with Patrick or not because, regardless, he wanted
nothing to do with her ever again. But the thought of how effortlessly she’d
lied to him on the phone that night still burned him up.
    He clenched his jaw then his golf club, turning back to Sal
before taking a swing. “The bitch lied to me about where she’d be the weekend I
found out.”
    He turned back to the ball and took a swing. The ball flew higher
and further than he’d ever sent one before. Lorenzo watched it, gulping hard and
refusing to fall back into that state of mind. It was in the past now, and while
he vowed to never forget so that he’d never be taken like that again, he refused
to stew about it forever.
    Sal was still staring at him, and if Lorenzo weren’t mistaken,
his ever the “let’s be rational about this” cousin didn’t seem convinced. Time
after time and for good reason Sal had accused not just Lorenzo and Vince but
his own two hotheaded brothers of reacting before thinking. Considering what a nice
and respectable girl Linda had always appeared to be, Sal was likely having as
hard a time as Lorenzo had when he’d first arrived at the hospital that night of
believing that she’d be capable of doing such a thing. So he figured he may as
well burst his cousin’s bubble about how all women had it in them to
blatantly lie and cheat. Even the sweet respectable ones.
    “She was caught red-handed, Sal.”
    “Did you see them together ?” Sal asked as apprehensively
as Lorenzo expected him to be.
    This only annoyed Lorenzo further as if that were the only way he’d be convinced.
    “No,” Lorenzo said, lifting an irritated brow. “But when I asked
her straight out, she admitted she fucked the guy the night before. No way of
getting around that, right?”
    Lorenzo moved out of the way, hating how the memory of that night
could still make every muscle in his body tense. At least the thought of Linda
cheating no longer made him nauseous. The pain may have been long gone, but as
much as he hated to admit it, the anger and disgust would always be there.
    “I had no idea, Enzo,” Sal said, sounding remorseful. “I wouldn’t
have brought it up if I’d known.”
    “It’s cool,” Lorenzo said, fidgeting with his golf gloves. “I’m
over it now.” He glanced up to see his cousin looking every bit as remorseful
as he’d sounded, so Lorenzo shrugged. “If anything, like my dad always says, ‘Every
experience, good or bad, is a learning experience.’ I’ll never get sucked in by any girl like that again. That’s for sure.”
    He wouldn’t say more because he knew Sal would disagree.
Obviously there were exceptions to the rule. Not all women were liars
and cheats. Sal would certainly point out that his Grace and Vince’s Rosie were
perfect examples of that fact. But Lorenzo had found out one thing first hand
with Linda. He sucked at knowing the difference. Clearly his radar for
detecting a cheat was way off since he would’ve never believed Linda to
be one.
    No way was he ever taking that chance again.

    Uncle Lou had called again to make sure Olivia and all
her siblings made an effort to pay their respects in person and showed up for
Uncle Janks’ services. Olivia hadn’t been able to make either the funeral or
the burial, but she had called Manny and Max to give them her condolences, and
she and Emi were now on their way to the repast after the burial.
    Now she
