“Hey, Beth.” Marina had snapped out of Southern belle mode.
“What?”
“Now that Don Hatcher’s trial is over, and he’s in prison and all, what do you say—”
“No.”
“You’re going to reject my latest brainstorm out of hand?” She put her hands on her hips. “What happened to the intrepid Beth Kennedy who trudged on with her murder investigation through defeat after defeat? What happened to the brave Beth Kennedy who risked life and limb to save her children and best friend?”
“She decided to retire her superhero costume and live a quiet civilian life.”
“Oh, pooh. Aren’t you the teensiest bit bored these days?”
“No.” But I’d hesitated, and a twitch on her face told me she’d heard the pause. Because she was right. After the excitement of tracking down a murderer, after appearing as a witness in a murder trial, after hearing the guilty verdict, and feeling the satisfaction that no one would suffer from Don Hatcher’s temper ever again, I had to admit that life did seem a trifle flat.
“Ah-hah!” Marina grinned. “Bored silly! I knew it!”
Not that I wished anyone dead, of course—not ever, not in a hundred million years. But if something happened, well . . . a little murder might be interesting.
