“The police should talk to him.” I wait, my French vanilla decaf in hand. She says nothing more, which is so uncharacteristic I fear for her life.

“Gayle?” I say. “Why should the police talk to him?”

“I’m just saying,” she says, “that they should.”

“But—”

“I’m just saying,” she repeats. “You wanna go to the funeral together? We could go to the diner for some coffee before the service.”

I tell her that Bobbie is coming with me and she suddenly remembers an errand she has to run on her way to the funeral home because she and Bobbie are like two shades of green. Separately they are each fine but together they inevitably clash.

I call Bobbie’s and get no answer. I guess I’m on my own.

I slip into what I suppose a cat burglar in Woodbury would wear at midmorning: a Ralph Lauren skirt I scored at T.J. Maxx and crisp white blouse, something no one would notice on Remsen Court. I rehearse my excuse if Jack is there. I’m just coming to see if there is anything I can do to help? The man doesn’t like me or my decorating so I’m not too confident that would work. I think I left something in the kitchen? What if he tells the police I came back? They’ll think I’m trying to cover my tracks or whatever it is that criminals do when they return to the scene of the crime.
