“Did she give you any names?”

“She dated some congressman from Delaware. I think his last name is Bryant. That’s all she really told me. She was a little secretive about him. I don’t know if he’s married or something else.” Laura looked off toward the corner of the room.

I could tell she was hesitating. I tried not to rush her.

Eventually she focused back on me. “I think there have been a few other politicians. And of course Justice Steinberg.”

“You say ‘of course.’ Why is that?”

“She talked to me about it like everyone knew. Everyone on the inside.”

“Do you think Steinberg’s wife knew? Did being married mean anything?”

“Not to him or Emily. I think his wife was even okay with it.”

I made a few notes on a pad mainly to cover my shock.

Laura said, “Not everyone is into traditional relationships. Like a man with ten kids.”

I held up my hands in surrender. “You’re right. But I’m not judging. Just surprised. I’ve spent a lot of time with Emily and never had any idea this was one of her interests.”

Laura shrugged. “You get used to it. Emily’s other qualities are more important. She’s bright, loyal, and caring.”

“And apparently secretive.”

Laura nodded. “And secretive.”

Secrets tended to make any investigation more difficult.
