“I don’t know,” I told Dwight when we were getting ready for bed later that evening. “What if it’s not about Jacob’s death but something else? Letha McAllister’s probably dead and you say Billy Thornton’s senile. Even if he actually did kill Jacob, it’s not like anybody could prove it after all these years. So why kill Aunt Rachel? She wasn’t even there.”

“It must have been an impulse thing,” Dwight said through the open door of the bathroom as he stripped off his work clothes and tossed them in the laundry hamper. “Whoever picked up that pillow couldn’t’ve been thinking clearly. Probably just wanted to stop her from talking again, keep her from blurting out something bad about a parent or grandparent.”

“But what if it’s something else? Would you try to stop somebody from saying your grandfather was a killer? I sure wouldn’t.”

“Yeah, right,” he said, and from the tone of his voice, I knew he was remembering some of the impulsive things I’ve done in the past without fully thinking them through.

“You know what I mean. What if it was about domestic violence or something to do with money?”

Toothbrush in hand, he smiled while watching me shed my own clothes for the oversize Carolina T-shirt I wear at night.

I took the other sink to brush my teeth, then we put out the lights and got into bed. Both of us take morning showers so the minty smell of toothpaste mingled with the woodsy smell of smoke as we turned to each other.

“You sleepy?” Dwight asked.

“Not really,” I murmured. “You?”

(Ping!)
