I’m not entirely sure what happened next. As I said from the outset, I’m an unreliable narrator. All I know is that I grabbed the letter opener in the same way Grace Kelly grabbed the scissors in Dial M for Murder when she was being strangled by the man Ray Milland had hired to kill her. I felt the same fear she had exhibited on screen—although Belinda was not trying to kill me, but I felt threatened down to the core of my being and all I could think of was escaping. The scent of her—her perfume, her makeup, her hair, her desire—it was overpowering. It was overwhelming me, oppressing me, sickening me. My heart was racing with the adrenaline of fear and I actually thought I might faint.

But I didn’t. I’m not sure exactly what I did, but suddenly there was a strange sound like a boot in mud—a wet sucking noise that was wholly unpleasant to the point where I thought I might retch, and then there she was—on my rug, the letter opener just below and between her breasts and a look of surprise on her face, her lips just slightly parted, as if she had one more thing to say that had gone unfinished.
