    ... work for a status report on his rival. Unfortunately, they gave their report when both he and Jane were in the office signing documents. That was two weeks after Dave was released and Jane had concluded he was no longer a threat. Perhaps she could convince Peter to lift the restraining order. It would look better to friends and family if there was no order in place. The battle for the moral high ground had begun.
    
    In a nutshell, Peter's lawyers reported, Dave had disappeared. He hadn't applied to the courts for either a living allowance or access to limited business funds. With no other surviving family— Dave was an orphan— Jane hadn't a clue where he'd gone. Calls to mutual friends didn't reveal any leads. Calls to the receptionist at his work resulted in the young girl, whom Jane until now had considered a friend, virtually spitting down the phone at her. Peter showed no interest in helping to keep Dave's business going, saying they didn't need it. More troubling to Peter was the fact that Dave hadn't signed any of the legal documents which would markedly slow the process down.
    
    Peter was getting worried about Jane's health. She wasn't eating properly, and her inner glow, which had been what drew his attention in the first place, was sadly absent.

Over two hours, they rehearsed the official story. She and Dave had grown apart and separated. Peter was a friend who was helping her through it, and somewhere along the line, after the split, they'd become more than friends.
    
    The phone call was made to the expected disappointment, and Jane's parents agreed to stay for the week. Jane couldn't really relax until after a long conversation with all the children convinced them that talking to Nan and Pop about the day of the serving would be in no one's interest.
    
    Decision made, Jane visibly relaxed and started to daydream about their week-long escape. Peter smiled, knowing he'd called the shots well. He chartered a private Lear to fly them to Phuket the following Monday. That night, Jane felt relaxed enough to accede to Peter's request for sex, but insisted they make no noise. The need for silence somewhat dampened Peter's enjoyment of the interlude.
    
    The next day, a Wednesday, Jane decided to resume her exercise regime, so she looked her best for Peter while wearing a bikini on the beach or by the pool. She knew Peter, fifteen years her senior, had been attracted by her youth and beauty. She also suspected that any prolonged withholding of bedroom fun might lead him to ...
