“Of course.” Deputy Blake picked up the telephone again and dialed.
“Hello, darling. I won't be home tonight, so why don't you watch some tel-?”
“You won't what? Where are you, with one of your cheap whores?” Ashley could hear her screaming over the phone.
“Serena-” “You're not fooling me.” “Serena- ” “That's all you men think about-getting laid.”
“Serena-” “Well, I won't put up with it any longer.” “Serena-” “That's the thanks I get for being such a good wife....”
The one-sided conversation went on for another ten minutes. Finally, Deputy Blake replaced the receiver
and turned to Ashley, embarrassed. “I'm sorry about that. She's not like that.”
Ashley looked at him and said, “I understand.” “No-I mean it. Serena acts that way because she's scared.”
Ashley looked at him curiously. “Scared?” He was silent for a moment.
“Serena is dying. She has cancer. It was in remission for a while.”
“It first started about seven years ago. We've been married for five years.” “So you knew...?”
“Yes. It didn't matter. I love her.” He stopped. “It's gotten worse lately.”
