Lisa's PovAbout Andre's suspicions. About Diane. About the private investigator. About our plan to work together.Riley listened quietly.She folded her arms. “So what, you two are partners now? A little investigative duo?”“Not partners,” I said quietly. “Just working together for now.”She shook her head. “I don’t like it.”“I know.”“Lisa, this is the same man who lied to you. Who made you feel small? Who-”“I know what he did,” I said, cutting her off. “But this isn’t about that. I’m not doing it for him.”Riley studied me for a long moment. “Then why?”“Because I need to know what really happened,” I said. “And I can’t do it alone. He has the connection I need.”She leaned back on the couch, sighing. “You’ve been different since that first meeting. Quieter.
