CHAPTER FIFTEEN:

PERSON OF INTEREST

I’m just outside the office when my first client of the week calls to cancel. She has pink eye. Resisting the urge to rub my own eyes, I take advantage of my unexpected free time by heading up the street to Starbucks.

After securing a double latte, I remove my jacket, take a seat near the window, and unpack my laptop. When I check my emails I find one from Josh. He’s forwarded the correspondence between Cage and Tonya. I enlarge the font before reading.

In his first message, Lewis, aka Cage, comments on the breakdown of Tonya’s marriage and claims to miss her. This email ends with a promise—or a threat—that he’ll see her soon. His spelling and grammar are atrocious. Tonya’s response, titled “Leeve me alone,” makes it clear she’s not keen—and has equally lousy spelling. She tells Cage to stop calling her and claims to have moved on and be getting engaged. Interesting. Cage’s final message is just one line: “As if. You cant live without me.” I have to stop myself from correcting that missing apostrophe.

Looking up from the screen, I rub my temples. Although it’s close to nine, I still don’t feel fully awake. Last night, after Tonya’s funeral, I found it hard to sleep, and had repeated nightmares. While I can’t remember the dreams’ details, a panicky feeling has stayed with me. I test my forehead for clamminess, worried I’m coming down with something. My eyes feel gritty too. Oh no. What if it’s pink eye?

I fight the urge to Google my imagined symptoms and reach for my latte. Following a fortifying swig, I refocus on Tonya and Cage’s exchange. What have I learned from them?

I should make a list of what I do and don’t know.
