Description
Jenny's old boyfriend Lucas was too interesting not to revisit. She cuts his hair for him in the bathtub at a motel somewhere in the desert.

Aside from their mismatched criminal bent and Lucas' possessive tendencies, it could never have worked because the man looks so damn serious. Jenny knows by now that if she never hears a man laugh -- like, totally ripped up and crying -- it just ain't gonna last. Lucas has heavier things on his mind.

Lucas was raised to be hard, raised mostly alone, in a border town full of drugs and ghosts and fools who moved money around. The less he said, the safer he was, so he became a man of almost no words at all. No ear would ever hear how many men he'd killed. And Jenny would never know how he loved her, and how he hated that love, because he had never needed anything so desperately in his life. It felt like a gunshot.

Jenny did good things for Lucas, and she wasn't the last woman who would love him. This time, she left him a better man.
