Body talk

“I need a body,” Livia had said on the phone the night Sofia visited Paolo. He was confused and slightly flustered by the simultaneous ‘presence’ of two women. His immediate thought was ‘Why on earth? You’ve a wonderful body’ and immediately thought of the other wonderful body he had just enjoyed. From his manner, Livia had detected that there might be another body present with Paolo.

“I’ll need Terry’s body to get the life insurance payout.”

“Well I’m not sure what state it’ll be in” Paolo said softly.

“Dental records and even DNA is all they’ll need.”

“They?”

“The cops!”
