This strip that ran along the edge of their property belonged to her, and now a judge had ordered her to stay away from it.Sometime long after midnight her eyes had snapped open in Alice’s guest bedroom, after a dream that had left no images, just an urgency. Urgent! Her chest burned with the moment.This urgency felt like sexual anticipation, potentially explosive, and as her physical cravings had for years, it fixed on Mike. She needed him and the comfort of his arms, as she always did when things got rough. She had to talk to him. So she had gotten out of bed, thrown on her cross-trainers and her jacket, and gone in to the dark dining room to find her keys.At the gate to the estate, though, her mood had altered. A new sign on the curved iron arrows of the gate said KEEP OUT. Mike had probably put it up for the reporters, but it applied to her now, too, so she walked the perimeter of the fence to the little gate on the far side in the woods and climbed right over it, and walked down toward the water, and lay down near the dock until she could figure out what to do, her chest feeling tighter every moment, as if her heart wanted to rupture.
