Livia kept howling down the phone. Tony, himself trying to come to terms with the situation, was surprisingly sympathetic and tried to calm her. It was probably good for him as it took his mind away from his own grief and self-flagellation. He was convinced that Livia was genuinely devastated. ’Maybe she did love Terry’ he thought.
When she calmed down a little she asked him what had happened.
“Tell me everything Tony, everything”
Tony told everything, except the fact that he actually had paid the ransom.
’Why hasn’t Paolo called to tell me about the body?’ thought Livia.

Tony is surprising me, if he genuinely believes her. (I should probably read all of these in advance before posting a comment! Usually something I comment about the previous drabble gets debunked in the next one!)
Great read, Neville.
