Secret Smiles
Dear Mr. Jane,
The death of the lovely Ms. Lisbon isn't entirely your fault; the grief you are obviously suffering from now is just, shall we say, an added bonus?
You see, dear Teresa was becoming a thorn in my side. One too many time she had come too close to unravelling my secrets and we cannot have that. But that is hardly surprising, she had been chasing my tail like a pretty little bloodhound for a very long time. Even longer than you. But then again that was her job, wasn't it? And she was so very good at that. A little bit of martyrdom there. Rather like you in that sense, Mr. Jane.
But then again, I'm surprised that you let yourself get so attached to another. We both know why what happened to your wife and child had to happen, and I honestly had hoped that you had learned your lesson. Obviously I was wrong, and here we are. I didn't much approve of you cheating on your poor deceased wife with those furtive glances and secret smiles with Ms. Lisbon here. There is a reason adultery is frowned upon.
Until the next time
