How are you doing?” I ask her, resolving not to let her hostility get to me. She has every reason to be hosti
I have not been to Nora's apartment for several months since Sally disappeared. In the first month of Sally's disappearance, I used to come here a lot, so much so that I’m sure that I must have begun to look like a desperate creep to Nora. Each time I came here back then, I would plead and plead wi

“Ah, I see by your face that you’re surprised that I knew about it. I’ll admit that I only just found out about it not too long ago. Gerald told me about it after your mother died.
