The Vanishing Point (2012)
“She left the library at three on Tuesday afternoon. On the drive to Ada’s she thought about Lou and Jennie, wondering how often they saw each other and what kind of relationship they had. She arrived at the Vails’ typically early, at three-twenty, and saw Jennie’s green Honda and Lou’s motorcycle with Missouri plates already parked beside the curb.
