“I told the reporters she worked up here,” Kay said. “And I can make that stick. I can show them my canceled checks … Before I’m through with them, they’ll believe it was an accident.”
“She was so young. So alone,” Clay said. “She had so much to live for.”
“Everybody does,” Kay said.
“Oh God,” Clay whispered. “I didn’t want to hurt her.”
“Nobody wanted to hurt her,” Kay said. “None of us. Just as she — didn’t really want to hurt anybody. But she couldn’t help it … Nobody can … Nobody ever can.”
