together and remained so until, again, they lay satisfied and panting, beads of sweat forming on Kurtis's brow and Tanya almost in tears from the sheer pleasure.
    Tanya smiled and looked up at Kurtis. “I don't know about you but I'm starving.”
    “Do you want to go out or shall we order in?”
    “Let's order in. I fancy Chinese. You?”
    “Chinese is good for me.”
    They made small talk while they ordered the food, took a shower together and waited for the meal to be delivered. When it did, they sat in Tanya's kitchen with boxes and plates in front of them but Tanya couldn’t help but bring up the subject of Catherine as they began to eat.
    “So,” she said. “After I left, what was exactly said between you two?”
    “I told you already,” Kurtis said. “She knows it's over between us.”
    “I guess,” Tanya continued, not looking at Kurtis, “what I'm concerned about is whether or not she got the message.”
    “Oh she got the message.” Kurtis's expression changed. “She's not the same person I knew before. Catherine has changed.”
    “Oh?”
    “Well, I know she was a pretty ambitious woman. She worked hard and she wanted a lot of things. But she was never so prickly and so hard faced as she was today.”
    “She wants you back, Kurtis. Maybe she's like that because she's desperate.”
    “Well, I can't help that.”
    “I'm worried,” Tanya said after a pause.
    Kurtis stopped eating and looked over at her. “Worried,” he said. “About me?”
    “No, not you. Her. I just know she hasn't gotten the message. I feel it. I know she'll be back and I know she'll try again to get you back. This time she'll wait until she knows I won't be around. You won't go feeling sorry for her will you?”
    “Tanya, stop this,” Kurtis said. “You have to stop doubting how I feel about you. There is nothing on this earth that can break us up. Nothing.”
    “You sound so sure. Maybe no external thing could break us but what if one of us did something wrong?” Tanya put more food onto Kurtis's plate.
    He was thoughtful for a moment. I can't stand lies,” he said. “Lying and cheating. Ever since I told you the complete truth about Catherine. I've always ever been honest and that's all I want from you. Never to lie to me. Catherine and I got into problems when I thought she was cheating on me with James. Infidelity is something I could not go back from and I would never cheat on you or lie to you, Tanya.”
    “I know that, Kurtis and I believe you.”
    “I know I can trust you, Tanya,” Kurtis smiled and kept on eating. “I think my biggest problem was that Catherine could have gone behind my back with James McConnagh. I mean – him of all people. I hate that guy and everything he has done. I mean I know in the end that it wasn't true. That he'd fabricated the whole thing to get at me, and it nearly worked. But, you know, I'd go crazy if I knew you were anywhere with him and you didn't tell me. I couldn't handle that.”
    “As if I'd meet up with him for any reason.” Tanya put her head down. She remembered the day she met James and he'd told her about the picture. Tanya had said to Kurtis that she ran in to him that day. She never mentioned anything about him tricking her into meeting him at his mother's apartment. She continued to chew slowly. This was the time to admit it, but with Kurtis so adamant he hated lies and he hated James, she could not bring herself to tell all.
    The more she saw how happy Kurtis was now that they had gotten back together again properly, she couldn't find it within her to tell the absolute truth. She would have to hope that, like Catherine, James would also know to stay away.

    Meanwhile, across town, another meeting was about to place.
    When Catherine stood in Kurtis's penthouse suite and watched the elevator door close in front of her face, all she could see was red. She stomped around the apartment in a near fit, seeing traces and evidence of Tanya having stepped
