AN: Heehe. Thanks for pointing out the Abbs/Cal/hinky thing. I'll be watching for your story. This one is actually a three-parter. First one's Kate's, then Tony's take on the same thing. Third one though, is still Tony, but it's his thoughts on the aftermath of Suzanne's betrayal of Kate. Strange thing. I, uh, actually had more fun writing Kate's pov, but half way through Tony's first one, I sorta slipped from second person to first without noticing. Hehe. Kinda scary.. Spike, help? Any explanation would be helpful... Chapter 3 coming soon. Give me 5 more reviews, and it's yours. Sittin' on my desktop, ready.
OMG, I forgot the disclaimer again. Er, Roses are red. Mushrooms have spores. Hey Mr. B, I think this is yours. :D
"What's with you and Jane Doe?"
"She's occupying my spare bedroom so I don't have to say no to you."
"Did I ask? Huh? Did I?"
He hadn't asked her. But how he'd wanted to. He'd seriously been considering asking. That is, until Kate walked in with Jane Doe.
"She'll be in protective custody at my place."
Her words rang sharp with a finality like a judge's gavel. 'Thought dismissed.'
Except the thought hadn't been that easy to dismiss. It had remained at the forefront of his mind. And it was plaguing him now. No woman could ever resist him. At one time, not even Abby or Paula could. Now that they'd dated, they were both over it. So with the addition of Kate, there were only three women Tony'd ever encountered who were immune to his charm. He knew the reasons behind two of them. Now if he could only figure out Kate. Out of the three of the women, she was the most resistant. And it was killing him not knowing why.
"Kate's willing to give her bed to Jane Doe, but not me."
"Shocker."
Apparently Abby's in on something that I'm not. I really can't understand it. She knew I was looking for a place to stay for a while, but she offered the spare room to Jane Doe instead. Had she really done that just so I wouldn't ask? Or was it truly because she thought her home would be more helpful in recovering Suzanne's memory? I'm leaning towards her curse of compassion.
At least that's what I want to believe.
