WIN

I sat on the edge of my bed staring at the black suit and dark gold Winterbourne tie laid out for me on the chair. My guess was Lena slipped into my room at some point early in the morning. It was her way of saying, you have to look like a Winterbourne today at Dad’s funeral, without saying it. I didn’t want to get up. I didn’t want to face the day. It would be hours of glad-handing and thanking people for their condolences. I would have to be kind and gracious, two things that weren’t at the top of my personality trait list.

On the writing desk in the corner was the remnants of the eulogy I’d written while drinking a pint of bourbon through the night. The knock of my heart beating in my head let me know I’d over indulged. I’d told myself I’d write a better tribute to my father if my mind was blurred. All it really did was fuel my anger and the general unrest that sprang from being home. I had so few good memories of the place it was like a haunted house to me. Now with both of my parents gone, perhaps that’s exactly what it was—a house of horrors. At the very least, it was a house of horrible events.

I looked to the clock on the wall. It was already noon. How I’d managed to escape the wrath of my sister through the morning hours was beyond me. Perhaps she was tied up with the arrangements. That was fine with me. All I wanted was to deliver the eulogy and get on the plane, taking my life and my rekindled relationship with Ginny back to the Big Apple.

The funeral was in three hours. I needed to reread the eulogy, but instead, I decided to work. I sat at my desk, tossing the four or so handwritten pages aside, noticing the bourbon ring on the last page. God only knew what I’d written.

Instead, I wanted to go through the statements from Lena and Magnus. Ginny had surely uploaded all of it to the file. But when I made it through security clearance and logged in, there was nothing. Nothing on the case other than what was there two days ago when he was murdered. For some reason unknown to me, the Louisville office and Ginny had not been updating the files.

I shut my laptop when someone knocked at my door. “Yes?

“It’s Ginny. Are you decent?”

I looked down at my naked body sitting in the chair. “No, but you can come in anyway as long as you don’t insult my man-parts again.”

“Win,” I heard her moan on the other side.

“Come in,” I said, walking to the bed to wrap the sheet around my waist.

Ginny let herself in and turned to face me. Dressed in a black dress that fit her like a glove and the kind of heels that made her already muscular calves pop, I couldn’t help but smile. I glanced back at the desk with my empty glass and crumpled papers littering my already messy room.
