I looked again from the photo in her hands to Beth’s tear-streaked face. “I’m so sorry,” I said—the one phrase I swore I’d never say to a grieving person, as it didn’t help one bit. I quickly covered with, “How did you know the deceased?”

Beth nodded and placed the photo back onto the foyer’s narrow oak table. “He was my sister’s husband. It’s just awful what happened.”

“Oh? Your sister is Mrs. Montrose?” I could see the resemblance now. Beth wore her auburn hair closer to her head and donned a fair bit less makeup, although she clearly wore some, as it had streaked around her eyes.

“Yes, Helen is my sister,” she said, and the statement seemed loaded with…something. Underlying emotion? Years of sisterly fights over shared clothes and competition over boys?

This thought made me immediately piece together the fact that Mrs. Helen Montrose seemed perfectly fine after her husband’s very recent death—only five days ago—while her sister was quite broken up about it.
