Chapter 13

By the time Ian left, they’d been able to fill in three more years, two at the top with Arnie in England and one at the bottom where the Boise school had announced Daniel Monet’s upcoming visit. The other twelve years were still a blank.

“At least it’s something.” Ian kissed her at the door. “Thank you for breakfast.”

“Thank you for playing Clue with me.” She pushed his hair out of his eyes. “Your uncle is going to tell you I’m a bad influence.”

“He’s already mentioned that fact a few times.” He hesitated. “I hate to bring this up, but Allen told me one more thing about Daniel’s death. The guy was naked when they found him. Hope didn’t say he’d tried to force her into anything, did she?”

“She hasn’t said anything like that to me.” Angie pondered the idea. Could Hope be minimizing what happened because she was embarrassed?

“You might want to let her know if he did, she wasn’t to blame. The guy was always pushy with what he wanted, even back when we were kids. Anyway, speaking of Allen and Maggie, we’re going over there on Sunday for dinner. Do you want me to pick you up before or after I go to church?”

“If I’m meeting the pseudoparents, I guess I should play the whole game. Pick me up before. I have a dress I haven’t worn in years. I hope it still fits.” She leaned into his neck. “Or we could just stay here and I could cook.”

“They’re not bad people, really. Maggie already thinks you’re a peach because you stood up to Allen. She says the family needs more strong females to keep the men in line.”

“I don’t know about that.” She stared at him. “You took off without even mentioning you were leaving.”

“Now, see, I knew you were mad.” He leaned against the doorframe. “What can I do to make it up to you?”

“Not make me go to dinner with Allen and Maggie?” She tried for a pleading look, but apparently, it just looked funny because he broke out laughing.

He stepped out onto the porch. “Save me a spot at dinner Thursday. I don’t have anything in my fridge and I don’t have time to shop.”

“There’s always room at the bar,” she called after him. She watched him get into his truck and back out of the driveway. Grabbing the sack off the sink, she went to drop off the peelings into the compost pile. Next year, her garden was going to be amazing. Back in the house, she finished putting away things from breakfast, then sank into the chair, glancing at her notebook. Right now the only suspects she had in Daniel’s death were people she didn’t think would kill the guy. One was Hope, who had left physical evidence at the scene. Then there was Meg, the over-the-top student he’d been sleeping with. And finally, there was Tanya or Tanya’s jealous husband. Tanya in her weird way had loved Daniel, so if their affair was the reason Daniel was dead, then the husband had killed him.
