The next day I got an email from Marie. She said in a P.S. she was in Stuttgart, Germany, and heading for Heidelberg.

Dear Kai,

It’s so sad about Ryan. I really miss him.

Yes, the police report was correct. I was away from Paris when Ryan died. An officer interviewed me after I returned. I’m afraid I wasn’t very helpful because I hadn’t really talked much with Ryan since early February.

I sent him an email then trying to explain about Pierre. I told Ryan he would always be a dear friend. And that I hoped he would understand. We didn’t talk much after that.

I still feel terrible about what happened. He was such a sweet guy. Everybody liked him. I can’t think of anyone who didn’t.

Please send my condolences to Ryan’s parents and let me know if you have more questions.

Aloha, Marie

I didn’t see the need, at that point, to question Marie further. A girl who’s broken a guy’s heart has little reason to wish him further harm. If she has a conscience, as Marie apparently had, she feels badly enough already. So unless Marie was an accomplished liar and unless the others were covering for her—highly unlikely—there wasn’t much reason to suspect her of anything other than the bad timing of Ryan turning up dead on her twenty-first birthday.
