The sun streaming in through the leaves on the big oak tree out front created a kaleidoscope of light on her floor and bedspread. It was going to be another beautiful day. Lexy smiled as she reached under the covers to pet Sprinkles. Today was the day before her wedding and, now that the messy triple murder was soon to be resolved, she could relax and focus on starting her new life as Mrs. Jack Perillo. Which meant she better get going—she had to run some last minute errands or there might not be a wedding tomorrow. She jumped into the shower, and then changed into a pair of comfy jeans and a plain black tee-shirt. Tying her hair in a ponytail, she grabbed her white hoodie, put Sprinkles into her harness and then headed out the door with the little dog at her side. Lexy drove downtown, glancing every few minutes in the rear-view mirror. She was still a little spooked by the black car she thought she kept seeing, but no one followed her. Maybe Davies had already arrested the killer.
