Widow’s dues

“Text me when they find the body,” instructed Livia, “I need to know when to grieve!”

“Sure.... When will you get back?” asked Paolo

“About 8 day’s time.”

“Shall I pick you up from Southampton?”

“No... thanks... but far too fishy! We don’t want anyone to connect the two of us.”

‘It’s a bit late for that,’ thought Paolo, aware that Sofia thought she was in the know... and she was.

“Tony, the bastard, can pick me up.” continued Livia. “He surely owes his brother’s widow that!”

“Shall I ask him for you?”

“No, no, no... I’ll call him myself.”
