"Me?" Rone had to take a moment to think even harder, now. He couldn't answer this honestly, of course. He would have taken both women for all of their money, naturally, and then he would have taken off for the remote tropical paradise of Costa del Sol.

Reno, on the other hand, was charitable. And stupid.

He had to keep both in mind as he answered this question.

"If I was in a situation like this? I suppose I could press harder, for both. There's no reason that one has to know about the other, is there? Keep your wife, raise your child, and live happily."

A double life. There was nothing strange or unusual about that. Naturally.
