Driving away from Hot Air, I was pulled in several different directions, even though I physically headed the Mini Cooper back toward the Cozy Corgi.

Simon had hired a PI to check on Rion and Pete’s affair? No way Susan was aware and hadn’t mentioned it to me. According to Margie, the PI had been snooping in their trash the day after the installation. However, it sounded like from what Divina said, that Rion and Simon had already been arguing about Pete’s involvement in the show before that… Divina herself had made the deciding vote. It sounded like Simon suspected well before the PI started digging. Caught or not, had the investigator discovered enough from the garbage, or elsewhere, to confirm Simon’s suspicion of the affair?

Actually, Tiffany and Rocky had been together at Halloween, and she’d brought up about Pete and Rion then. That was a lot of time for Simon to build up suspicion. He probably was mostly certain before hiring a PI.

As the questions whirled, I realized I wasn’t exactly pulled in several different directions. I simply had several different questions all pulling me to exactly one place—Simon Faulk. Even if Susan had already spoken to him, I needed to as well. Only… I didn’t want to. Not only because of how Katie felt about him, and I didn’t want to be the one to discover that her new friend was a murderer. The bigger part was simply that the idea of confronting him made me uncomfortable. Through my limited interactions with him, Simon’s feelings were crystal clear. Regardless of Rion’s cheating ways, Simon loved him. Both Tiffany’s and Rion’s funerals were the next day. I’d been telling myself I’d wait until after that, out of respect, out of a sense of decorum. But I couldn’t wait any longer. Or at least shouldn’t.

I drove past the Cozy Corgi, sparing a glance into its windows, hearing the siren call of the bakery overhead, of dirty chai and toasted babka with cream-cheese icing.

Those would wait. They’d be my reward after… What was the saying? Eating the worm? Getting the worst over with.

That said something, didn’t it? That talking to Simon sounded even worse than confronting Pete about his affairs and initiating a family feud with thrown glass?

As I headed farther down Elkhorn, the file folder I’d stuck on the passenger side of the dash got my attention as it reflected in the windshield.

Salvation!

I never knew I could be so excited about an errand. I was even headed in the correct direction.

I scratched Watson’s head as if he was the one responsible for providing a distraction to put off confronting Simon.

He grunted in his sleep where he was curled up on the passenger seat.

A few minutes later, all too soon, actually, we came to a stop in front of May’s office.

Since Watson grunted again when I urged him to come with me, I opted to let him have his way, lest I trigger a bad mood that would last the rest of the day.
