“Welcome to my humble abode,” Brielle says, waving an arm around her apartment as I walk in behind her.

I have already seen it, of course. It’s one of the first places I searched to find out what evidence she had to support her claim to the painting.

It’s a minimalist but sophisticated look, with just a hint of femininity. Mostly grays and neutral colors, the occasional bits of powder blue mixed in. Considering how much time she spends at Gaultier Financial, I’m not surprised at the lack of sentimental touches. The large case filled with books and the picture by her nightstand are the few things that keep it from looking too sterile. Suffice it to say, it was easy to search.

“It’s nice,” I say, looking around as if for the first time.

“I’ll be quick,” she says, escaping to the bedroom. “Georgie isn’t hung up on appearances, so you’ll be fine.”

Without the bowtie—which is balled up in my pocket—the tuxedo doesn’t look formal enough to raise eyebrows on a casual Saturday.

Brielle comes back out in a light blue sundress that tones down the formality even more when she’s by my side. She’s brushed her hair up into a twist and reapplied makeup.

“Ready?” she asks with bright eyes.

“Of course,” I say. The anticipation of meeting Georgette almost outshines the worry eating at me regarding what I sensed while I was waiting for Brielle to exit the Gaultier Building.

Almost.
