Memories From a Dead Girl

"My memories of what happened are muddled," Austin said. "The police said I called her. Her number is in my recent calls list on my phone, but I don't remember doing that. I don't even remember meeting her. You have to believe me."

Chloe stared at him, her eyes narrowed. "I talked to the police. They told me you met with her and you had a fight, then you killed her and drove her body out to the swamp."

"I didn't—I don't—"

"Stop lying." Chloe's voice shook. "Please. I need you to tell me why you would do this to her. I trusted you to keep her safe and you...you took her from me."
