over.” The doors closed.
    Kurtis turned to Catherine. “Catherine, I don't want you to get me wrong. When we were together what we had was special. I did love you. I loved you with all my heart. Maybe in time we could have been married, but it just wasn't meant to be. Surely you see that now.”
    “All I see, is you having a bad time with her. She doesn't trust you. I always trusted you, Kurtis, and I always will.”
    “I keep trying to tell you, Catherine. Things have changed. This, me and Tanya, that's what I want more than anything now. I want to be with Tanya. I'm so, so sorry. I'm sorry about the accident, I'm sorry about your amnesia and the hard time you had. But I can't go back. I can't go back to the way things were. I've moved on.”
    “No, Kurtis you don't mean that. You can't.” She held his face between her hands, pressed her lips against his, trying to thrust her tongue into his mouth.
    “Catherine, no! You can't do this. Not to us and not to yourself.”
    “I hate you!” She shouted the words into his face. “How could you do this? You nearly killed me because of your terrible driving of the boat. You'd been drinking. I never told anyone that. It was your fault I nearly died and you just move on and leave me out in the cold. I came back here to be with you. Kurtis – please.”
    Kurtis shook his head and backed away from her. She lurched at his chest and grabbed the front of his shirt. He tried to pull her hands out of the vice-like  grip she had on him.
    “Don't do this, Catherine. Please, just go.”
    “I fought for you to believe me when I told you that James and I were not having an affair. I know how to fight, Kurtis. And I will fight this. I want you back and I'll get you.”
    “Then you just please yourself.” Kurtis called the elevator.
    “Where are you going?”
    “I'm going after Tanya. I need to make sure it's not too late for me and her. I'm going to tell her that there is nothing more that you and I need to say to each other. I want you gone. I'll make sure you no longer have security clearance, if that's what it's going to take. But you can never come back here and you can never have anything more to do with me and Tanya.” He got into the elevator and let the doors close. He was turning his back on Catherine for Tanya and he never wanted to look back.

    “Tanya!”
    Kurtis ran out of his apartment building. He looked up and down the busy street. It was almost dark now. He couldn't believe he'd let Tanya walk away. How could he have been so stupid? He knew what he wanted. He wanted her.
    He knew Tanya would be on foot and that she could only be less than half a block away, if he ran he could catch up with her, speak to her and have her back in his arms once again. He chose to rush off in the direction of her apartment and hoped to God that that was where she intended to go.
    As he began to run he thought he recognized the red sweater she had been wearing and the slinky black shoulder-length hair, her purse on a long strap over her shoulder. Yes, that was her. He'd recognize the way she walked anywhere. But she had gotten to the end of his block, crossed the road and was about to turn a corner.
    He ran out into the middle of the road so that he could cut out a fair stretch of the block and didn't want to lose sight of her in amongst the people making their way home from work. It was early evening, but the traffic was still quite busy. Kurtis didn't even think about the oncoming traffic and was half way across before he noticed the car horns sounding loudly as drivers swerved to avoid him. A man driving a red Volvo tooted his horn, prolonging the sound by keeping his fist on it and sneering at Kurtis.
    “You idiot! Why don't you look where you're going?” He continued to curse as Kurtis picked up his feet and made a dash for the corner. He was right; it was Tanya he saw. Luckily, she had stopped to look into a shop window so he could easily gain on her if he
