“Then I won’t. Just do it quickly.”
“With luck, we’ll be moving tonight. Tomorrow at the latest.”

“You won’t be alone. Brigitte will be with you.”
She nods.
“I’m glad Liliane is dead, you know. I keep trying to feel guilty about what I did, but I’m just numb.”

“Do what you have to.”
Candy comes back in.
“I spoke to Kasabian. He’ll do it.”
I look at the bedside clock.
