Chapter Nine
It was late and I had to get up early for work tomorrow, but I was reluctant to leave Alain. He was very energetic compared to Mark, who was so detached and clinical that he could have been in a coma. Everything good in Alain's life was "awesome" and anything bad "sucked." Alain sprinkled his conversation with words like "for sure, absolutely, definitely and whatever.” He was so easy to talk to and to be with. He was such a girl!
Men had no idea what a compliment it was when one woman said to another, "Talking to him is just like talking to another woman." It was the ultimate praise although men generally didn't see it that way. All of the Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus bullshit disappeared, and talking to the guy was as easy as talking to a best friend. Although I’d only spent a few hours with Alain, I sensed that he was without pretence, strategies and machinations. He had not been flirtatious with me but clearly, he had enjoyed himself and my company.
We got back into the Saab and Alain turned on the radio. I was shocked to hear a special news bulletin, stating that Lisa's car had been discovered on a small street off Alymer Road across the river on the Quebec side. Her keys and purse were inside.
