Jonathan’s experience over the last few hours has eliminated his appetite, but Jackie insists (making it clear that she’s picking up the check), and Jonathan ultimately suggests a French restaurant in Tribeca that’s about a ten-minute walk. Jonathan is initially concerned that they won’t be seated without a reservation, but the model-beautiful hostess tells them to follow her, and they are placed at a table in the front of the house. The space has been renovated since the last time Jonathan dined here, and now the room has an open floor plan, with murals of romantic images on the walls. Flowers are everywhere, and the waitstaff move around as if they’re on roller skates. “So . . . what did Alex say to you?” Jackie asks once they each have a glass of white wine. “Nothing I didn’t already know,” Jonathan answers. “This is a serious charge. The police are going to be able to prove our affair. That type of thing. Why, what did your mouthpiece say?” Without missing a beat she says, “He told me to make a deal and save myself by telling the police you killed Rick.”
