It was Dorothy.

She stood in a puddle of what looked disturbingly like blood, her white ankle boots soaked through, as she watched me halt the action of closing the doo

That she found my address so quickly was alarming.

I frowned, “Whether it’s you or Margaret, you’d better check yourself into a hospital or better yet, go bother Bryant. Don’t come here bothering me.”

“Ms. Myars!” Suddenly, a voice came from the direction of the elevator. I turned to see Mark, in a sleek, matte, iron–gray suit, striding toward us.

That reminded me that he had mentioned he would come by to bring me a gift. After the afternoon’s ordeal at the hospital, it slipped my mind.

Dorothy turned to him, slightly stunned. “What are you doing here?”

Mark looked indifferent, his gaze fixed on Dorothy. “I’m here to drop off something for Jane. And you, what brings you here?”
