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

Sally was reclining on one of the pool chairs in Sean's backyard, where she was sunning and preparing to go for a much-needed swim. He was not around, as he had gone to work, but she had two days off from work, so she had come to spend them with him. After their conversation the other day about whe
“That's not possible, Rosita.” He replied, at last, looking at her with fresh eyes. “Let’s humor ourselves for one second and pretend that it was possible. Don’t you think Mr. Carter would cut her off and refuse to give her a portion of the inheritance, especially since she doesn't have the best be
