Claudias eyes open. Those scars on HIS chestwhat had he said? HE said Mary Anne did that to him, but that cant be true. There flashes before Claudias internal eye a picture of Mary Anne, her delicacy, her willowy slimness, the appeal of those large, long-lashed blue eyes. Yeah, right. Whoever did that was trying to kill HIM, probably, and Mary Anne isnt capable of killing time, let alone The Interrogator. Maybe HE just meant that she was responsible for how that happened to him, not that she did it herself. However . . . Claudia shifts about uneasily on the bed, remembering Mary Annes face at their last meeting. That hard, level stare.
I dont know you, Claudia.
Perhaps she has been wrong about Mary Anne.
Perhaps she has been wrong about many things.
"This isnt getting me anywhere," mutters Claudia, and she is surprised to notice that she has spoken aloud. With a little hrrrrmphing noise of disgust, she stretches out on the bed, not bothering to take off her shoes first but planting her feet in the middle of the clean counterpane as a gesture of defiance. For all the good THAT will do.
She is more tired than she had known, and the bed feels goodthe mattress is firm but comfortable, and Claudia reaches down to the foot of the bed for the blue blanket folded there and draws it up around her, swaddling herself in it, still wondering what she would do if HE were to walk in this very minute.
But as sleep closes in on her, her last thought is not of HIM, but of Ed, smiling as he had smiled in days when things were so uncomplicated between them. Joy. Laugher. Fun.
Love.
One pang at her heart. Ed. Ed, where are you right now . . . ? And Claudia is asleep.
