Summary
“You’ve been running a con on me,” Lisbon accuses him, but she can’t help the smile tugging at her lips.
Jane huffs. “Of course I have. Teresa, I’ve been running the most transparent, gentle con of my life on you.” He pauses, eyes scanning her face, taking in her lack of anger with relief. “To be frank, I hesitate to call it a con when I’m practically laying my intentions at your feet.”

Summary
With his first wife, Jane had no concept of what it would be like to lose everything. Now that he knows that pain, he clings all the tighter. It's complicated. His thoughts about Lisbon range from acceptable to physically impossible. He wants to put a ring on her finger. He wants to bring her flowers. He wants to read her mind. He wants to violate the principle of impenetrability and occupy the same space as her. If he could carry her with him everywhere he goes, maybe that would be enough to soothe his battered and ruined heart.
