ex-boyfriend's girlfriend, his girlfriend's first ex-boyfriend and second ex-boyfriend, and<br />
her second ex-boyfriend's first ex-girlfriend.'"<br />
"That's a lot of ex's," Pete said. "Where do you fit in?"<br />
"I'm the first ex-boyfriend of the ex-boyfriend's girlfriend." Jack laughed and shook his<br />
head. "Came up with that pretty quick, huh? Not sure that's a good sign."<br />
"So you dated one of those girls?"<br />
"I did." Jack picked a thread on his jacket. "It was a long time ago." He didn't think it<br />
was necessary to belabor the point, and he turned out to be right.<br />
"I had a girlfriend for three years in high school. I still talk to her every year on her<br />
birthday." Pete took a sip from something red he was drinking. "You know, I don't<br />
normally invite people I meet in grocery stores to my apartment. It's not a habit. I just<br />
thought I should say that."<br />
"Well, don't worry. I don't make a habit out of this kind of thing, either, but . . . I have<br />

Tripp Berkowski was the guy you aren't supposed to invite to parties, because although<br />

don't want to mix him with booze -- tequila, in particular, was his drug of choice. Pete<br />
hadn't known this, of course, so Tripp was on his eighth margarita in two-and-a-half<br />
hours when he ran into Joey in the kitchen, where she was pouring a Diet Coke. He<br />
eyed her from behind with a predatory leer that would have been a helpful sign, had she<br />
seen it. She, of course, didn't. When she spun around and saw him there, she jumped<br />
a little.<br />
"I'm sorry, you startled me." She tilted her head. "Are you looking for something?"<br />
"Nope." He sidled up to her and waggled his index finger. "I know you."<br />
She smiled, a sort of nice-person reflex she had learned at her mother's knee. "I don't<br />
think so."<br />
"No, I know you." He took a drink. He didn't have her cornered, exactly, he just was<br />
standing between her and the door in the way that men can learn if they devote enough<br />
effort to it. "Your dad was that guy."
