And here I thought it was an original idea.” Jack laughed. “Well, then Melinda showed up, and now peace and quiet is a thing of the past.” “That’s a rough spot you got yourself in,” Ian observed. “Yeah,” Jack said. “Beautiful blonde in my bed every morning when I wake up. I’m telling you, the suffering just won’t end. "
