‘Did you tell the police about Simon’s photos?’ Mr Wright asks.

‘No. They were already sceptical, more than sceptical, about Tess being murdered and I didn’t think the photos would persuade them otherwise.’

I could hardly mention Bequia islanders and voodoo dolls.

‘I knew that Simon would argue that they were for his art degree,’ I continue. ‘He had an excuse for stalking her.’

Mr Wright checks his watch. ‘I need to get to a meeting in ten minutes, so let’s end it there.’

He doesn’t tell me who the meeting is with but it must be important if it’s on a Saturday afternoon. Or maybe he’s noticed me looking tired. I feel exhausted most of the time, actually, but in comparison to what you went through I know I have no right to complain.

‘Would you mind continuing your statement tomorrow?’ he asks. ‘If you’re feeling up to it.’

‘Of course,’ I say. But surely it’s not normal to work on a Sunday.

He must guess my thoughts. ‘Your statement is vitally important to secure a conviction. And I want to get as much down as possible while it’s fresh in your mind.’

As if my memory is a fridge with pieces of useful information in danger of rotting in the crisper drawer. But that’s not fair. The truth is that Mr Wright has discovered that I am more unwell than he originally thought. And he’s astute enough to worry that if I am physically declining then my mind, in particularly my memory, may deteriorate too. He’s right to want us to continue apace.
