... tell me, baby, whatever it is, is okay." I tried to say something. But I couldn't get anything out. "Honey, you're worrying me. We can work it out together, but I'm pretty lousy in the guessing department." My sobs pretty much drowned him out. "We're going to breathe together, nice and slow, so then you can talk to me. Okay?" I got the hiccups. "I'll...I'll...I'll call you b-back," I said. I hung up. Oh Marcy, you big dork. I leaned way over, so that I put my head between my knees. I just stayed like that, concentrating on my breathing, for what seemed like a really long time. I was a good person. I've always been a good person. I sat up and wiped my face. I better call Jean-Luc back. He's probably worried about me. There was a knock on my door. Whoever it was could just forget about it. There's no way I'm answering looking and feeling like this. "Marcy! Open up!" Jean-Luc. I wiped my face again, and went to open the door. He swept me up into his arms and didn't let go. He closed the door with his foot. I started to cry again, soft, subtle tears again. "Oh baby, you're breaking my heart," he said. Jean-Luc carried me over to the couch and arranged me on his lap. He kissed the tears off my face.

"The crying ones," he said. "Now what's up?" I shrugged. He pet my hair. "You hair's wet." "I didn't blow it dry; it takes forever to dry on its own." We were silent for a while. "Sorry I interrupted your work," I said finally. "It's Saturday. I put in a few good hours. It's fine." "Mmn." "You're more important than work any day, weekend or not." I started to cry again. "I'm not usually a crier," I said. "I hope not, because I got to tell you, this is the pits." He smiled at me. "I don't mind though. I take the whole package. Sex, talking raccoons, crying jags." "Ice cream?" "Ice cream," he said. He carefully pushed me off his lap and went to the kitchen. I ogled his butt as he opened the freezer. "Holy shit!" he said. "You've got like a hundred flavors of ice cream in here," he said. "Yeah, my parents are out of town, so I've pretty much just been eating ice cream for the past four days, and I wanted some variety." He turned ...
