Day 75





Julie leaned back on the sofa. Outside the weather was dull and grey but certainly not cold. She sighed heavily and put her wine down on the table. She looked directly at Pat and frowned.

“I know there is more to this than you are letting on. We’ve been friends since primary school – but, but it’s obvious you aren’t really sharing.”

Pat took a deep breath and counted air in and out. Keep Calm. “What is it you want to know?”

Julie shuffled uncomfortably on the settee – suddenly the look on Pat’s face was making her feel a bit guilty. Had she gone too far?

“Look, I get that it’s horrible. Patrick being killed. Having to meet his parents. Being accused of having married him….”

“About that…”

“I believe you, that the wedding photo wasn’t you and you weren’t married but …”

“I lied. We were married.”
