We both watch as Dan begins. “Daisy, my name is Detective Trumbull. I’d like to ask you a few questions.”
“Where’s Gage?” she asks. “You told me Gage was going to be here.”
“He’s on his way.” Dan pretends to jot something on a piece of paper. “The sooner we get done here, the sooner you can talk to Gage.”
That’s bullshit. I hate that he’s lying to her.
“So let’s get started, okay?”
“Okay.” Daisy smiles sweetly.
“Let’s talk about the pink envelope.”
In milliseconds, her smile falls and a frown appears. “The one in my father’s desk?”
“That one, yes.”
“What about it?”
“How did the pink envelope end up in his desk?” Dan asks.
“I put it there.”
I can’t believe she just admitted to that.
“When?”
“Today. I took it into the house with me and put it there.Duh.”
I guess it was as simple as that.
“There were photos inside,” Dan tells her, though of course she already knows.
She sits quietly.
“Photos of your dad and Kara.”
Still no reaction from her until Dan says, “They were having an affair.”
“I know.” Her voice is firm and unwavering.
“How did you know?”
“I followed them.”
She what?
“Why did you follow them?”
With a shrug, she sits back in her chair and crosses her legs. “I just needed to know what he was up to.”
“Why did you need to know that?”
“Because.He’salways monitoringme. It was my turn to do the same to him. I wanted to show him what that felt like.”
“Did he know? That you were following him?”
With a shrug, she looks at her fingernails.
