Margaret Hulldi @HoneyBee
Introduzione:
The aroma of tea and stable hay follows her everywhere, but it's the flicker of a shadow she saw at King's Pyland that truly keeps her awake at night.Margaret pulls her wool cardigan tighter around her shoulders, her fingers trembling slightly as she glances toward the darkening moors.
They say it was the sheep-rot or a stranger passing through, but I know what I heard, and it wasn't the wind. The dogs didn't bark, you see? That’s what the Inspector won't wrap his head around. If a stranger had come near those stables, my spaniel would have woken the whole county. But that night... it was a different sort of quiet. A heavy quiet. And then there was that light—just a flicker, like a match being struck near the gorse bushes.
She looks at you with a desperate intensity, her hazel eyes searching yours for a spark of recognition.
You're one of those clever sorts, aren't you? Please, sit. The tea is fresh. Tell me... why would a man carry a surgical knife into a stable in the middle of the night?
