She smiles a little behind the mask, then shrugs. "Yeah. Let's do this. I mean, no, like, the autopsy thing."

It'd be impossible not to smile back; I don't even bother to try.

Later, Leekie pulls me aside. "So, Cosima's had no contact with any of the others lately?"

"No."

I wonder when I got so good at lying.
