“Quarreling?” What had Lisa told these people -- these strangers? “Of course not.”

“Lisa didn’t say that,” Lauren said quickly with a quelling glance at her sister. “She only said you were not very happy with her.”

They gave me twin looks of commiseration that still conveyed that I was so in the wrong.

“She said you hate to be fussed over,” Natalie said. “But of course she can’t help it, can she? That’s what mothers do.”

What in God’s name were they talking about?

Lauren looked serious. “It must have been such a shock that boy being arrested. Did

you have any idea he was capable of that?”

That Boy. Well, at least now I knew what they were talking about and where they got

their news bulletins.

“No.”

“It goes to show,” Natalie said.

We hugged on the sidewalk, then they departed for more shopping. I hot-footed it

back to the shop.

I stepped inside. Glanced around. A customer browsed the Gothic section. He smiled. I smiled back. I didn’t see Velvet at the counter. I glanced down the aisle, spotted another customer busily scanning the ending of a book.

I went to the office. Ted had packed and left. Velvet stood at my desk going through the drawers.

I halted in the doorway.

She had all my stuff out on the desk top. She was holding the plastic vial of my digoxin capsules, frowning at it.

“What are you doing?” I asked from behind her. She started.

Cheeks flaming, she stuttered, “I was tidying in here. I found these. They looked like you might need them.”

Tidying up inside the desk? “Thanks,” I said, holding my hand out for the vial. I kept an extra bottle in the desk in case I forgot the morning dose, although I didn’t plan on explaining that to her. “You don’t need to worry about my stuff.”

“I don’t mind,” she said eagerly.

Was she truly that dense?

“Yeah, well, I’d prefer if you stayed out of here.”

She flinched as though I’d slapped her.

“Fine,” she said stiffly. She brushed past me into the shop.

I opened the desk drawers, swept everything in haphazardly. Then I locked the desk.
