“But wasn’t Wyatt a good friend of his?” Aria asked, poking a hole right into Piper’s theory.

“Yeah,” Piper answered, unable to offer any other explanation. “Okay, four suspects,” she finally ceded, thought Eli remained in the back of her mind. She could move him down the list of suspects and come back to him if nothing panned out.

“Good. Mariah, Amber, Heather, and Andy,” Giovanni repeated.

“Honey, why don’t you go get some paper and make notes,” Jacqueline teased, finally opening her eyes. “And while you’re inside, bring the caviar.”

Giovanni laughed. “I’m not getting out of this hot tub. My memory is a lock box.”

Just like Meadow’s, Piper thought. He’d make a good lawyer.

“From what you know of Wyatt, can you think of any reason any of those suspects would want him dead?” Piper asked.

“He wasn’t dating Amber when he came to the house to train the dogs,” Giovanni started.

“Was there anything that might have made you think their relationship didn’t end well?” Aria asked.

Giovanni shook his head. “He didn’t really talk about his personal life.”

“That’s not true,” Jacqueline interrupted, sitting up straight and looking at her husband. “He went on and on about Amber.”

Giovanni chuckled and sipped his wine. “Not to me, he didn’t.”

“That’s because you’re a guy.” Jacqueline turned to Piper and Aria. “Their relationship did not end well. He broke up with Amber about a month before he came to the house. But she was still trying to get him back. She would show up at his work at the Bulletin, she’d go to Wyatt’s apartment, she even crashed the first date Wyatt went on with another woman.”

Aria’s eyes bugged out. “Like, just showed up at the same restaurant?” she asked.

Jacqueline laughed what could only be called a cackle. “I think he wishes that’s all she did.”

Piper and Aria exchanged a surprised glance. “What happened?” Piper asked, her curiosity growing.

Jacqueline leaned forward, gearing up for a good story. Aria’s eyes sparkled at the anticipation. Aria loved juicy gossip, and Jacqueline seemed no better.

“Wyatt suspected that Amber was following him. So he even warned this new girl—I can’t remember her name. He told her that his crazy ex-girlfriend might show up.” Jacqueline raised an eyebrow as she said crazy. “So they picked a busy restaurant at peak dining time, hoping that Amber wouldn’t be able to get in and get a table. Well, it didn’t matter. She told the hostess she was meeting a couple of friends and pulled a chair up to Wyatt’s table!”

Aria gasped. “She didn’t . . .”

Jacqueline nodded, a wicked smile spreading her lips as wide as her ears. “She did. Wyatt tried to tell her to leave—even threatened her with a restraining order. But Amber pulled out an engagement ring and proposed to him!”

“What?! She got him an engagement ring?” Aria squealed, clearly delighted at this drama.

“Oh no. It didn’t make that much sense. She got the ring for herself.” Jacqueline cackled again.

“Hah!” Aria belted. “I’m guessing Wyatt said no.”

“You’ve got that right,” Jacqueline answered. “And the new relationship didn’t last, either.
