Under My Skin

by Sarah Dunant

  I stood vigil over the body for a while longer, then turned and walked out, closing the door behind me. Back in the living room her perfect face stared out at me from a dozen pictures. I picked up the phone and dialed the number of a policeman I knew.

  Well, every first date has to start somehow. To my surprise, now it was all over, I was quite looking forward to it.
