“So, if you weren’t with Todd, who were you drinking with last night?”
“Oh, uh…”
“Come on, if you can’t tell me, whom can you tell?”
Jennifer had a point.
“That guy, you know, from the forum. The PI. Manus.”
“The hottie you called an idiot?”
She cringed at the recollection of it. “Yeah.”
“How did that happen? Did you call him? Did he call you?”
Kim let out a breath. Of course, now Jennifer wanted details. “It’s really not that interesting.”
“It is for me.” Jennifer clicked her tongue. “Come on, spill.”
“Fine. But not on the phone. Do you feel like meeting me at my mom’s house? I need to start going through stuff there, cleaning out things. You can help me, and we can talk.” At least then she wouldn’t have to be there on her own. It still gave her the chills to walk into the living room and see the spot where her mother had died so violently.
“Wow, you’re really gonna make me work for it this time, aren’t you?”
“Gossip isn’t cheap.”
“Don’t I know it? See you in about forty-five minutes?”
“That works.”
“Cool.”
A click in the line, and Jennifer was gone.
