Pieces of You
““Of course she is, what did you expect?”
Evie Burnes sipped her whiskey. “Nothing. It was merely an observation.”
What a mess. Quinn tapped his pen against the side of his desk. He could use another drink, but he’d already had too many and in twenty minutes he had to get in a car and drive Evie Burnes to a celebration. In her honor. “She’s messed up, do you know that? Because of you, she’s messed up.” She looked so cool and unaffected, sitting there with a cigarette dangling from her fingers.
“...She seemed fine to me.” She took a long drag from her Salem Light, blew out slowly.
“Of course she would. You don’t know her. She panics when Michael or I are ten minutes late, a full-blown won’t leave the window, calling cell phone, friends, anybody kind of panic that takes a good hour to settle down once she sees us and knows we’re okay. It comes and goes, worse when she reads about a disappearing parent, or now, when she’s working a case with a kid whose mother goes to the grocery store and poof, disappears.”MoreLess
