31 case of lies

. " congratulations ."
"i always thought i would hit a big one . thirty years was a long time to wait , though . anyway , hector and i fell in love and got married and decided to spend our best yers someplace beautifu . so we came here . you married /?
"no ."
"divorced ?"
"divorced and windowed ." nina felt rather than saw bova absorbing the informatiion . he cruised over , close to her chair . shifted on his feet , and leaned in .
" and still so young ," he said .
she couldn't believe it . he was flirting with her . and his wasn't the first time since she had eturned to tahoe she had been hit  on in ridiculous circumstances . could it be some kind of single female pheromone she put out now that  she as no longer with paul ?
if so , she didn't mind too much , because she liked male attention , always had , laately , maybe , she had started to wonder if  she had come to rely on it a little too much .  that didn't meanj she trustexd bova . she drew away from him , attempting to use body language to send him an unmistakable friendly nonverbal signal to get lost . businesslike , aloof , and polite : she went for that effect . and it worked . bova stepped away and resumed his examjination of the objects in  the room as if nothhing had happened ,niona picked a few grapes from a bowl on the immaculate glass coffee table and ate them , giving herself a moment to slip back into lawyer mode ." shall we talk about the hana casse ? i'm afraid i'll have to get back soon ."
betty jo said ." i know you're busy . yet you came to see me right away and didn't  out us off . i like that ."
"i consider this situation urgent . you're fighting to have david hanna 's case thrown out and i can't let you do that ."
"in a nutg shell , yes , in a nutshell . here jimmy and i thught  . we were in the home stretch
