Becky was alone in her store about to close. She was about to change into sweats and go to bed. She was tired. She had spent all day in the store, something that felt weird now. She had made a few good sales, and she was ready to retire. She could feel her bed calling her, pulling her towards it. She wanted to curl up and sleep. Becky felt as if she wasn't getting enough sleep these days. The case was keeping her awake.
She would be glad when it was over.
Becky decided that the moment it was over, she would sleep for four years straight. She was imagining a soft, dreamless sleep.
She was working on the plan. She needed a little more time, and it was time she didn't have. She had to think it through. She'd be meeting with Charles and Liam soon, and she had to tell them something.
