put his few possessions in his lap, explaining the prescriptions and the care instruction sheets she
handed him on the way out the door.
Don t forget, physical therapy on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, she added. It s very
important.
Important. Hayes nodded. He was already plotting ways to get out of it. But he didn t tell her that.

MINETTE WAS WAITING at the door with her big SUV. It was black with lots of chrome and the wood on
the dash was a bright yellow. The seats were tan. It had a CD player and an iPod attachment and
automatic everything. There was an entertainment system built in so that the kids could watch DVDs in
the backseat. In fact, it was very much like Hayes s personal car, a new Lincoln. He drove a big pickup
truck to work. The Lincoln was for his rare nights out in San Antonio at the opera or the ballet. He d
been missing those because of work pressure. Maybe he d get to see The Nutcracker next month, at
least. It was almost Thanksgiving already.
He noticed the signature trademark on the steering wheel and chuckled. The SUV was a Lincoln. No
wonder the dash instruments looked so familiar.
He was strapped in, grimacing because the seat belt hurt.
Sorry, Minette said gently, fumbling with the belt to make it less confining.
It s all right, Hayes said through his teeth.
She closed the door, got in under the wheel and pulled out of the hospital parking lot. Hayes was
tense at first. He didn t like being a passenger. But Minette was a good driver. She got him home
quickly to the big beautiful white Victorian house that had belonged to her family for three
generations. It was surrounded by fenced pastures and a horse grazed, a palomino, all by itself.
You ve got a palomino, he mused. I have several of my own.
Yes, I know. She flushed a little. She d seen his and loved the breed. But, actually, I have six of
them. That s Archibald.
His pale, thick eyebrows rose. Archibald?
She flushed a little. It s a long story.
I can t wait to hear it.
