"No. You were lying like an account man to save me." Lennox turned away. "How long did Sam know?"
"A week."
"And he tried to save me, too."
"Yes, Jordan. He tried very hard. He tried to protect both of us."
"Do you know why he did it, Gabby?"
"Yes," she said. She was about to blurt the truth of her last meeting with Cooper when she caught herself. "But you'd better tell me."
"I let him down," Lennox said bitterly. "He was a sweet guy, a whole man, the only normal in the business. He had sense enough to want to stay out of the rat-race and I shoved him into it. And then I let him down."
"How?"
"I don't like to remember."
"It'll be best for you to remember. You won't be free of it until you confess it. How did you let him down?"
