The Case of the Black Pearl
“Patrick had been expecting it. They would be in this together, despite their differences. He and Moreaux. It seemed inevitable, although Patrick would have wished it differently.
Moreaux’s voice resembled Brigitte’s, thick with cigarette smoke.
‘Brigitte called.’ He laid an emphasis on the ‘g’ and made it almost guttural, like a German might. Moreaux sounded upset, if such a thing were possible.
Patrick wondered if he’d been wrong and what lay between Moreaux and Brigitte was more than just sex....
‘We need to talk,’ Patrick said.
There was a moment when Moreaux evaluated the offer. ‘Yes,’ he conceded.
‘Tonight,’ Patrick said. ‘La Castre.’ Le Suquet would be up at the castle courtyard en masse, celebrating the end of the film festival. There would be bands and local wine and several hundred inhabitants, young and old and all ages in between. The courtyard at La Castre was where every Le Suquet celebration took place and tonight was no exception.
Festival yachts and local boats of all sizes would sail into the old port, or anchor in the bay, to watch the festival finale firework display.MoreLess
