    "Were you able to sleep on the plane at all?" I asked. "No, I never do. I know it is only two o'clock here, but in New York, it is five a.m. I'm exhausted," she admitted. "Well, get some sleep. When you awaken, call me. I would like to take you to lunch to tomorrow." "I'd like that a lot. I will call you when I get up and we'll meet some place," she promised. Lunch with Cindy at the Marriott: I received a call shortly after eleven o'clock. Cindy and I agreed to meet in the lobby of her hotel at one o'clock. I was a bit nervous about the lunch. We had a lot to discuss. I arrived early and we went to the 'Character's Sports Bar and Grill' which was in the lobby of the Marriott hotel. Cindy showed up at precisely one o'clock. We were seated at a table surrounded by flat screen TV's, each showing some obscure sporting event. The choices were English rugby, Australian rules soccer and Canadian rules football.

I am not threatened by it," I stated casually. I saw her blush. A bright crimson flushed across her face and shoulders. I could see her struggling with what to say, but she decided to remain cautious and remained silent for several seconds. "Robert is very special to me. He always has been. I just want him to be happy," she admitted honestly. It was a candid, but innocent sounding answer. I smiled and offered, "I want that too. I am okay with the two of you remaining close." I took a sip of my cranberry and vodka cocktail and continued, "I have a bit of a confession. You and I have more in common that you might imagine." Cindy raised her eyebrows as if to invite me to continue, but said nothing. I placed her hand on top of hers and confided, "After our dad was killed in Afghanistan, my stepbrother and I became 'close' too. We were both an emotional wreck and we leaned on each other, perhaps more than we should have. What I am saying is that I understand how these things can happen.
