“Well? I went down to the common room looking for you, but you weren’t there.” He paused in the act of unbuttoning his waistcoat. “Still don’t trust me, I see.” “It had nothing to do with trust. I couldn’t sleep either, so I thought we could have a glass of wine together.” The half-truth caught in her throat. Forcing herself to go on, she tried not to sound like some accusing wife. “But you weren’t in the hotel.” He removed his waistcoat and placed it with precise motions over the chair. “When the wine didn’t help, I went for a walk.” His explanation was plausible, except for one thing. “The hotel owner said he hadn’t seen you in the common room at all. He seemed to believe you were still upstairs.” When Giles remained silent, she said in a low voice, “You promised not to lie to me.” “And I won’t,” he snapped. “Just don’t ask me questions about things that don’t concern you.” The knife went in so quickly that it took a moment for her to react.
