This felt like turning up at a party and finding another girl had worn the exact same dress; the sense of 'well, now one of us is going to have to change'… There was absolutely no reason to think that she couldn't still buy one… except now she knew if she did, it would feel tainted in an absurd way because he'd had one first.

"You asked to see me, Ms Wojciechowski?" said Andrea. It was quite the mouthful, and so most people either called her Jackie or Chief. Andrea suspected that the only reason that Jacquelyn didn't insist on her doing the same was that Andrea was one of the few people who could pronounce Wojciechowski correctly.

That did little to stem the flood. "OMG, are you with him now?!?!?" and many similar such messages speculating on what their plans together might be. Madison had a vivid and salacious imagination.

"Helen." Jack checked his notes. "Helen Shepherd. Even though she was on vacation, she still messaged Beatrix regularly, so she may have been the last person to talk to her. More importantly, she also appears to know a little more about Beatrix's as-yet-unidentified boyfriend, which is obviously of great interest to the detectives investigating the case."

Kyle smiled encouragingly. "Then you're in luck, I've done lots of murders!" Realizing how wrong that sounded, he clarified, "—Cases! Murder Cases. Lots of cases, I have done—prosecuted, I mean." He stopped himself stammering with a cough and started again.

Mu Xue wasn't a fool and could sense the change in the children's attitude toward her. It wasn't like this in the past. Ever since Mu Jingzhe had become their mother, everything had changed.
