“Margaret doesn’t like you,” Julie said that night as they were preparing for bed.

How’d she find out so fast? Did Diana tell her? was Jessie’s first thought. “What makes you say that?” she asked instead. “Did she say something?”

“No, it was more like what she didn’t say.”

Jessie came out of the bathroom. It hurt to brush her teeth. “How so?”

“She never says your name, just ‘the other one’ or ‘your friend.’ Haven’t you noticed? She watches you but never when you’re looking at her. Are they lovers? Is she jealous?” Julie sat cross-legged on the bed.

“No, not lovers, at least Diana denied that.” She walked around the room. “Nice jammies.”

“Silk.” Julie slid her hand across the material. “Margaret picked them out for me. That was another thing: she kept picking out clothes for me, concerned about style, color, like she was dressing me for some show and she was the fashion consultant. You picked your own, she didn’t care, couldn’t be bothered.”

“Maybe she knows how I hate shopping. I wondered what took you so long. Maybe she’s attracted to you.”

Julie shook her head. “No, didn’t get those vibes. It was sorta fun, you always hated shopping. And I figured the longer I kept her up there, the longer you had to search the house or talk to Diana or do whatever cops do to investigate.”

Jessie sat down in the chair. “Am I that transparent?”

“You’re a cop, twenty-four-seven.” Julie shrugged. “Find out anything?”

“Diana’s room is next door. Margaret’s down the hall. I get the feeling there’s security, maybe closed circuit, but I couldn’t find any wires, any cameras. But this house isn’t a rustic cabin. If there is anything, it’s probably so built-in that it’s not apparent.”

“Were you able to have any type of conversation with Diana?”

“Of a sorts,” Jessie admitted. She shook her head. “It’s really strange, like one minute I know her and the next minute, who is this woman?”

“I can imagine.”

No you can’t. Jessie sat there. “But I didn’t find out anything. It would probably help a good deal if I could find out who Papa is.”

“I think I can do that.” Then she laughed at Jessie’s expression. “Well, I’m not a ninny, Jessie. I was supposed to have treated her papa. I’ll just ask. I imagine there’s a whole lot she’d like to ask me.”

Jessie nodded thoughtfully. “Probably so.” She got to her feet and came over to the bed to crawl in. “And for the record, I do not now nor did I ever think you’re a ninny.” She ran her fingers over the silken material of the pearl-pink pajamas. “So what other kinds of clothes did you get out of Margaret?”
