A gust of wind blew in as Maven opened the door. She shivered. Winter was definitely here. “Come in, Paul.”

He walked in but stayed on the welcome mat.

“You can come in. I don’t care about your shoes.”

“It’s not that. I’m on my way to work, but I wanted to tell you something. I talked with the investigating officer of Ella’s accident. He had a few interesting things to tell me.”

“You definitely need to come in and sit down.” Maven hoped her curiosity wasn’t nosiness. No, she might still be working with Ella later, and it would be good to know the facts in case the girl ever remembered and needed help getting over it. “The coffee’s ready.”

“I really don’t have the time. She told me Ella’s father insisted they shut down the investigation into the accident. He claimed it was best for Ella to forget about it and to move on with her life. But the officer thought it was strange, too.”

“Why would the police acquiesce to him?”

“They didn’t, but since Ella couldn’t tell them anything because of her language difficulties, they didn’t have much to go on.” He sighed. “One of the witnesses thought they saw someone run from the accident, but no one was at Ella’s house when they checked so…not much to investigate.”

“You know, I might just go visit Ella.” Maven couldn’t quell the sudden uneasiness. Something feathered against her mind, something unpleasant, just out of reach. Something to do with Ella, who still couldn’t speak for herself. Maven turned her attention back to Paul. “I’ll go see her to say bon voyage and Merry Christmas. I think I’ll just come right out and ask her what she remembers about the accident.” Her gaze met Paul’s. “What do you think?”

“It couldn’t hurt.”
