After Karl left, Joyce poked her fork repeatedly at the cod fish in front of her, lost in thought.
When she thought about it, there was something wrong. Charlotte just seemed to be everywhere and in everything. She naturally found it suspicious. She and Charlotte grew up in the same orphanage, and although they were not close, there was no conflict between them either.
The only entanglement began because of Luther.
She married Luther under false pretenses, while Charlotte, after becoming the Heath family's daughter, was engaged to Luther and became pregnant.
She thought to herself that since the suspect, Thomas, used to stay in the vicinity of the orphanage.
How about she found some time to ask the dean of the orphanage? Maybe Dean Rachel would have some idea of what's going on around her. Maybe she knew Thomas, too.
Perhaps, it would help Karl with the investigation.
But just now, Karl had asked them not to make any moves, and she was also worried that she might just alert the murderer.
When she was thinking about it.
Suddenly, Luther's magnetic voice rang in his ears.
"Don't poke it! Your fish is now a mess, can you still eat it?"
She was thinking about it when Luther suddenly interrupted her and tapped her plate with his fork.
The crisp "ding-ding" sound brought her back to her senses.
Upon further inspection, sure enough the rest of the cod on her plate had been completely mashed by her.
Hell, she was hungry and hadn't eaten enough.
Luther glanced at her breathlessly.
He pushed his plate of already cut lamb chops in front of Joyce and jerked her plate of cod away.
