Memories From a Dead Girl

"Is your name Austin Harlow?"

"Yes."

"Do you know Chloe Farris?"

"Yes."

"Did you meet Olivia Farris through her sister?"

"Yes."

"Did you and Miss Farris have an intimate relationship?"

"Yes."

"Did you meet with her the day she died?"

"Yes."

"Did you have a fight?"

"That's what I was told, but I don't remember."

"Yes or no answers, please."

"Yes, we fought."

The man whose name I didn't know then asked the only real question that mattered to anyone around here.

"Did you kill Olivia Farris?"

Austin is hesitant for a moment, his body still. Then he answers in a voice so low you'd think he was afraid of his own reply.

"No."
