“A cousin, I think.”
“You think?”
I also remembered the answer.

“It was four years ago.”
“What was her last name?”
“I don’t remember.”
“But you were certain enough to tell me she was Daniel’s cousin.”
She sighed. “What is this about?”
You told me she was a relative.
“Ethan found eighteen years of payments to Lily’s mother.”
Another silence.
“Did you know?”
“No.”
“But you know something.”

You were certain enough to tell me?
“Laura, I don’t want to do this over the phone.”
“Then tell me who Lily was.”
“I don’t know. But there was someone Daniel knew when he was young.”
“Who?”
“A friend. Michael.”
The name stirred something in my memory. Daniel had mentioned him, rarely and never fondly.
I don’t want to do this over the phone.

“He stole from Daniel.”
She went quiet.
“Didn’t he?”
“I don’t know what happened between them.”
Whatever she knew about Michael, she had been keeping it from me for a reason.
“What aren’t you telling me?”
The name stirred something in my memory.
“I’ve told you what I know.”
“No. Four years ago, you told me Lily was his cousin because you wanted me to stop asking questions.”
