From the Prologue.....
"Where have you been," Maudelle hissed. "I've heard something!"
Cyrus stopped in his tracks and listened. "I don't hear nothin' and besides...I'm here now baby," he cooed, then passionately kissed her.
She sharply pushed him backward. "This is the last time you convince me to meet you here, at the Funeral Home..."
Cyrus pulled her close once more and nuzzled her earlob while squeezing her waist. "We have it made here. No one's gong to bother our 'little love nest'."
