Sociopath?

Rhonda Fisher paid attention too and although she wouldn’t have told her friend, she was thrilled at each new achievement. Ex-professor Barnes noticed (she and Kaddie owned three fitness centers in Florida now) and grimaced bitterly each time she saw his name. If she still had hard feelings though, Kaddie didn’t. She thought happily of her times in bed with Rafe. He got a fan letter from Bobby Kelly, forgiving him for what he did and asking if they couldn’t have a drink together sometime, seeing as they were old school pals and all. He would have chuckled if he’d read it but, of course, he never did read his fan mail. And there were lots of women with whom he’d been involved at one time or another, all of them feeling pretty much like Kaddie, treasuring that moment, brief though it might have been.

Gil kept up with Rafe’s exploits through Renny.
“Magdelene has given me fits wanting me to pin him down about his intentions toward Rhiannon but I flatly refuse to do it. I told her if she wanted to try to confront him about it, be my guest. She’s beside herself because Rafe is the only one of our kids who has refused to make his children legitimate. Of course, he claims them and gave them his name and I know he’s made them the beneficiaries of his trust fund but, you know, that doesn’t satisfy Mag. She thinks he ought to marry Rhiannon. I know Rafe enough well enough to know that‘s never going to happen, at least not unless it’s his own idea, and it doesn’t appear it ever will be his own idea. Still, they have some kind of semi-stable relationship that looks like it might be lasting. That’s probably as good as it gets with Rafe.”
“You know, Ren, I always figured that boy would end up doing something totally unconventional. I guess I was right about that, huh?
“Yeah, unconventional is probably as good a word as any to describe Rafe.”

And as for Rafe himself, as always, he would have been surprised to know how many people cared about what was going on in his life because unless it affected him personally, he never gave much thought to them at all.
