    and the nervous smile slip back onto my lips once more. I was beginning to get the distinct impression that Veronica was deliberately trying to discomfort me. If that was her intention, it was working. “No, no,” I said. “I’m not seeing anyone at the moment. I just don’t really have...” I didn’t really know what I didn’t really have. Was it time? Was it inclination? Was it confidence? I had only had two brief relationships since turning eighteen, and neither of those had lasted more than a few weeks each. “You don’t really have...? What don’t you have, Lucy; any interest in sex?” My face felt like a beacon. Her eyes were now playful and I felt like the toy. She knew she was in control. I knew she was in control. It was obvious it was something she enjoyed. Part of me felt as though I was beginning to enjoy it too. “I have an interesting case coming up soon that you and I will be working on,” Veronica continued. “My client is a very successful local fashion designer in her early forties called Samantha Sutton. You may have heard of her.” I nodded. My mother was the proud owner of two or three stunning Samantha Sutton evening dresses in her wardrobe, which had been bought courtesy of Veronica’s successful efforts to drain money out of my father like a cracked dam. “Well,” Veronica continued, “the excuse of a man she has been married to for the past fifteen years has now filed for divorce and is seeking a significant financial settlement in the proceedings, in spite of the fact ...

I paused for a moment and tried to think. “Why is he divorcing her?” I asked. A wicked smile crossed Veronica’s still slick, wine-red lips and her eyes grew warm; provocatively warm. “Very good, Lucy,” she purred. “You have asked the only question that really needed to be asked. I am very impressed.” I smiled nervously. “Now, open the file I gave you and go to the fourth tab.” I placed the heavy file on the table in front of me and opened it, finding the fourth tab. I could see that it contained a statement by Samantha Sutton’s husband. As soon as my eyes hit the writing on the page I could tell that the wine had begun to have an effect. I was feeling a little more than light-headed and struggling to focus my eyes. The first few paragraphs gave a history of the relationship, which all seemed remarkably unexceptional. “It’s paragraph seven where things get very...interesting, Lucy. Read it aloud, please.” I did as I was told. “On the 19th of May, our wedding anniversary, my wife was working late at her studio. She had told me she was very busy getting a collection ready for a launch of her new line the following week and would be working late. However, I decided to go and buy her ...
