“I don’t know.”
“Was anything taken or out of place?”
“No.”
“So you think someone broke into your flat, dropped a glass and left?” Dena was wearing an expression that she usually reserved for Mary Ann.
“Right, it doesn’t make sense, I know that. But here’s the thing…do you remember my book Sex, Drugs and Murder?”
The condescension disappeared. “The broken-glass-in-the-kitchen scene.”
“You do remember.”
“It was the first indication Alicia Bright had that someone had been in the house.”
“Exactly. Of course, that’s stupid.”
“It’s at least highly unlikely.”
“There’s more.”
Dena swallowed visibly and waited for me to continue.
“I got a note in the mail a little over a month ago, no return address. It was typed, and it contained just one sentence, ‘You reap what you sow.’ And then last night, before the whole glass thing, I got a whole bunch of prank calls. The person calling didn’t say anything threatening. He—or she—just called and hung up.”
“Okay, that’s it. You need to call the police.”
“And tell them what? That someone sent me a note in the mail that is, for all intents and purposes, perfectly benign? That I got a few hang-ups? Or that I found a broken glass in my apartment that may have been knocked over by my cat?”
Dena pressed her palms into her thighs and studied the discarded price tags on the floor. “All of the above?”
“Dena, I told you this because I wanted you to calm me down and bring me back to reality, not so you could further bolster my paranoia.”
“Sophie, if there’s a chance that someone is stalking you, the authorities should be alerted.”
“Great, now we are both being paranoid.” I ran my fingers through my hair, inadvertently tearing it as I went. “Look, I even cut my finger when cleaning up the glass, the way Alicia Bright did.” I held up a bandaged finger for Dena’s inspection. “Do you think that was planned too?”
“Okay, I get your point.” Dena chewed her lower lip. “Still…”
“Dena?” Barbie peeked her head through the door. “Your maaaann is here.”
“Oh good, I do get to meet him.” I stood up and waited for Dena to do the same.
“Sophie…”
“Dena, it’s fine, really. It was the cat. Now come on, you have an introduction to make.”
Dena put her hands on her hips and paused for a moment as she tried to figure out what her next move should be. Finally she shook her head in defeat. “Fine, I’ll let it go for now. Let’s have you meet Jason Beck.” She took my arm and guided me onto the selling floor, and there he was.
Mr. Velvet Pants.
