wrapped a hotel bathrobe around her which she dumped at Kurtis's door before letting herself into his room. She looked around and saw that he was not in the bedroom but the door to the bathroom was slightly ajar.
    “I'm in the bath, honey,” Kurtis called from the bathroom. “Why don't you come and join me?”
    “I don't mind if I do.”
    Catherine stood at the doorway and weaved her hips from side to side as she made her way to the sunken bath where Kurtis, with a look of shock on his face, looked up at her.
    “What the hell...?” he gasped. There was no part of her he couldn't see and she had stepped one foot onto the edge of the sunken bath.
    “Surprised?” she smiled at him.
    “Catherine, was that you? Did you tell reception you were Tanya?”
    “Neat idea, don't you think. I didn't think you'd see me otherwise. You sounded pretty final when we spoke the other day.”
    “That's because I was. Now get out of here will you?”
    “Relax, Kurtis, don't cause a scene, I just want to talk.”
    Before Kurtis could protest against it, Catherine had stepped one foot into the large bath and then the other.
    “Catherine...don't do this. It's over between us.”
    “It's not over for me.”
    Catherine sunk her body against his and tried to kiss him. He turned his face away. She tried to stroke his chest but he grabbed her wrists and held them apart. She rubbed her breasts into his face, shimmying her body up and down him.
    “Catherine, quit fooling around. I don't want to have to get physical with you.”
    “But that's exactly what I want you to do, Kurtis. Touch me. Kiss me. You'll see...you still love me. I know it.”
    All the time she was trying to free her wrists from his hold and trying desperately to kiss his lips, but failed.
    “Damn you!” she shouted. “I hate you.”
    “Catherine don't do this to yourself. I can't watch you do this.”
    She collapsed in tears against his chest. He released her wrists and tried to comfort her, patting her back and shushing her.
    “I hate seeing you like this,” he said quietly. “You were always so strong and positive. It's one of the things I...”
    She looked up at him.
    “One of the things you loved?”
    “Yes. I did once but...”
    “But not now.”
    She pulled herself out of the bath. The water clung to the nightdress and she appeared to be naked. She could see that Kurtis was looking at her wet skin. He had always loved her body, adored it in fact. She was glad to have kept in shape while she was out of his life. Slowly she peeled off the sodden garment and put it into the sink and stood in front of Kurtis once more.
    “Are you really going to turn me away from your door like this?” She stood with her hands on her hips. Kurtis looked down at the water. “Kurtis, I'm turning you on, aren't I? I can tell. I can see what's happening under the water.”
    “You're wrong.” Kurtis leapt from the bath, grabbed a towel, wrapped it around his waist and headed for the bedroom. He stood with his back to Catherine.
    “I'd like you to leave,” he said through gritted teeth.
    “You want me to walk out of here with no clothes on? Is that what you want? For people to see a naked woman leaving your room who isn't your fiancée? The newspapers would love that but I'm not sure Tanya would.”
    Kurtis swung around. “Are you threatening me?”
    “That's not why I came here, Kurtis.” She rushed towards him and put her arms around him. She was trembling.
    “You're freezing, Catherine.” He pushed away from her and went to the bathroom. Coming back with a thick bathrobe he put it on her and tied it up at the waist.
    “You still care for me don't you, Kurt?”
    “I care but not like it was before. I don't want to see you hurting, Catherine. I just want you to get on with your life...”
    “The way you've gotten on with yours?”
    “Yes. I want you to be happy.”
    “Well, I want us both to be happy and that's why I have to say something to you that you may not want
