The Knave of Hearts #7

“Klaus, please come home.”

Jenny was always whinin’ about that, but I was nothin’ but trouble for her. Thugs never bothered her as long as I was far away, and I intended to keep it like that.

“I need you.”

She needed money, or else we were both back out on the street. Mob bosses paid good for burglars of my skill. Long as I was out earning, she could eat.

“You’re seeing other women, aren’t you?”

She still turned tricks for a living, so I counted us even.

“I miss you.”

Well, that was stupid. I wasn’t worth missing.

    Good luck! You can schedule them to appear when you want them to in advance if you want.
