Four and a half months, that’s how long her relationship last. 4.5 months, twenty-two years ago.

And it seems she’s still not quite over it.

Don’t tell me you’re thinking of dating him again after what he pulled.”

It’s been over twenty years. Surely, the statued of limitation on the break-up of a relationship that lasted less than a year is shorter than that.

Gregg rose to his feet, his pursed lips a clear sign he was not happy to have been put on the spot.

Well, he could have expected this question. So why did he not prepare?

“And what you consider proposals, Reenie dear, are only ideas.

I hope Reenie goes through with divorcing her husband. Or at least uses “Brad dear” in her next rebuttle.

There’s a murderer on the loose, in case you’ve forgotten.”

I doubt he forgot: Delia heard the news report after Connor left the house in the morning. It is very likely he was not informed about the murder yet.

Out of nowhere Delia wonders if Missy was kidnapped as a child because her parents were late 30’s/early 40’s and “that’s kind a old for first time parents”. The policeman laughs it off, but really he should have pointed out there are many reasons why people become parents later in life, and none make them into criminals.

40 is above average, but someone’s got to offset all the teen pregnancies.

“I see.” Gregg nodded slowly, getting the picture.

Hmm, that sounds more like he’s making stuff up to fill the gaps in his knowledge.
