“Friends, we are gathered here today in remembrance of our dearly
departed sister, Vivienne. Let us come together in unity and share our
sorrow at her passing but also celebrate her life, which I’m certain
was lived to the fullest.”
“Not so sure about that,” Dusty mutters from where she’s sat beside me.
My eyes wander as I tune out the officiant and his hollow words. He
didn’t know Viv at all, and glancing around the small room, I’m beginning
to wonder if anyone really did. The room is almost empty and it breaks my
heart. Viv was a complicated woman, but I’d thought there was more to her
life than the handful of mourners here, most of whom were recent additions
to her life coming mostly through me.
Chan sits along the row to my left, Aidan beside him. Behind them are
Maddie and her wife, Sonia. They didn’t really know Madame Viv all that
well, having only met her a couple of times while she was staying at our flat
after the whole Chaos incident. Maddie’s been assigned Madame Viv’s case
along with another detective. Danny isn’t allowed to be involved with the
murder case given his connection to Viv, which I know he’s finding
extremely frustrating, especially as Maddie and Detective Byrnes are no
closer to solving it.
My gaze drifts to Detective Byrnes, who sits alone behind Maddie and
Sonia, and I’m surprised to find him blatantly staring at me.
He’s new to Scotland Yard, apparently started just before Christmas, and
from what I hear, he’s made waves already and not for anything good.
Maddie’s made no attempt to hide the fact that she can barely stand the guy.
According to her, he’s a chauvinistic pig who talks over everyone, considers
his opinion the most important in the room, and always acts like he has
something to prove.
Even worse, he’s decided he really doesn’t like Danny and is hell-bent
on proving he’s better than my boyfriend in every way. Patrick Byrnes is
convinced he’s smarter and a better detective than Danny. Whatever the
cockwaffle’s problem is, it seems to be aimed in Danny’s direction, and as
if that wasn’t bad enough, having that complete bell end in charge of my
friend’s murder investigation makes it all so much worse. I can only hope
he’s as good at his job as his ego seems to think, but I seriously doubt it.
Fucking narcissist.
I’m all about giving people a fair chance even if they don’t come across
well on first impression. Byrnes, however, made the major mistake of going
after my boyfriend’s job. He should count himself fucking lucky I don’t
take Dusty up on her offer to send in her new ghost friend Skid to haunt
him.
I don’t even realise my hands have balled so tightly into fists that I’m
leaving little half-moon indentations in my skin until Danny’s large, warm
hand covers mine and strokes my skin softly.
He offers me a small, reassuring smile as if he knows where my
thoughts have gone. I turn my hand palm up so his fingers entwine with
