“Yes, but he might come back. You can’t stay here, Louis.”
He reached up and caught her hand.
“Where is he then?” he asked, pulling her towards him. She struggled for a moment, then reluctantly let him draw her down on to his knees. “That’s better,” he went on. “Gee! I’ve missed you. Haven’t you missed me?”
“Well, I have. You might have… Why haven’t I seen you before this?” Janey asked angrily.
Seigel laughed.
“I bet you thought I’d thrown you over. You did, didn’t you?”
“What if I did?” Janey snapped, sitting bolt upright on his knees. “Do you think I care? There are plenty of other fish in the sea.”
“That’s right, so there are.” He ran his finger down her spine, and grinned as she shivered in ecstasy, pulling away from him.
“Don’t do that!”
“I’ll do something more than that in a moment.”
