Chapter Eleven

While Tilly and Tamara were deep in conversation about the intricate dynamics between Claire and Walter, the sound of the office door chime interrupted them. An elderly couple stepped into the office, their expressions a mix of concern and uncertainty. Tamara’s professional demeanor swiftly returned as she greeted them with a warm, yet composed smile.

“Mr. and Mrs. Jensen, it’s wonderful to see you both. How may I assist you today?” Tamara inquired, her voice carrying a tone of genuine concern.

The woman, clutching her purse tightly, voiced her worry. “Well, dear, we’re just a bit confused about the status of our home sale, especially after the tragic news about Claire,” she said, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Tamara offered a nod full of understanding and empathy. “I completely understand your concerns. Please, take a seat, and we’ll discuss everything.” She then turned to Tilly, her expression apologetic. “Was there anything else you needed, Tilly? Or may I assist these clients?”

Tilly, sensing an opportunity, replied, “Actually, if it’s not too much trouble, could I take another quick look in Claire’s office? I just want to double-check a few documents.”

Tamara responded with an easy shrug, indicating her agreement. “Of course, feel free to have a look. The police have already gone through everything in there quite thoroughly.” She then redirected her attention to the Jensens, her professional demeanor resurfacing. “Would either of you like some coffee or tea while we talk?”

Tilly nodded her thanks to Tamara and slipped away from the reception area, moving towards Claire’s office with a sense of purpose. As she entered the room, she closed the door softly behind her, enveloping herself in the quiet solitude of the space. The office, still filled with Claire’s personal touches, felt like a frozen echo of her presence.

Standing in the center of the room, Tilly closed her eyes and took a deep breath, preparing to tap into her magical senses. She extended her awareness outward, seeking the subtle energies that lingered in the space. The air around her seemed to thrum with a silent, unseen tension.

As her focus deepened, Tilly began to sense an undercurrent of residual emotion. It was a palpable feeling of rage, a turbulent storm of anger that seemed to permeate the very walls of the office. The intensity of the emotion was overwhelming, almost suffocating in its raw power.

Tilly’s brow furrowed in concentration as she tried to discern the source of this rage. She reached out with her magical intuition, attempting to connect the emotional residue to Walter. However, the connection was elusive, the threads of energy frayed and tangled, making it impossible to definitively link the anger to him.

Opening her eyes, Tilly exhaled slowly, her mind racing with the implications of her findings. The rage she had sensed was undoubtedly significant, a key piece of the emotional puzzle surrounding Claire’s death. Yet, without a clear link to Walter, it remained just another mysterious piece in an increasingly complex case.

She murmured to herself, “There’s so much anger here, but I can’t be sure it’s Walter’s.
