“If you get tired, or find these poses challenging...” Crystal began to tell the class in a soothing voice.
“Is she looking at us?” Sara Beth hissed to Joy.
“Who else would she be talking to?” Joy replied.
“Just move down into child's pose. And breathe.” Crystal spoke deeply into the mic.
Joy and Sara Beth quickly followed her instructions, curling into balls on the floor and struggling to catch their breaths.
“All this oxygen is making me have crazy thoughts,” Sara Beth wheezed.
“It's good for us,” Joy agreed.
“What if,” Sara Beth muttered quietly, turning her head to face Joy. “What if Crystal's fiancé Lucas is the killer?”
“Lucas?”
“Shhh, not so loud.” Sara Beth glanced around. "Someone else here might know him."
Joy looked up and saw that the rest of the class was standing upright, and everyone seemed completely occupied with tying themselves into human knots.
“I suppose he would have a good motive if Tony were stalking Crystal,” Joy admitted.
“Or if stalking means, you know,” Sara Beth wiggled her eyebrows.
“I don't know.” Joy frowned.
“Crystal says she and Lucas are on and off all the time. What if Crystal lied and she has seen Tony recently?"
“Oh," Joy replied. "Let's hope not."
“So what if Crystal was on with Tony, and Lucas found out about it?” Sara Beth raised her eyebrows.
“Or what if Tony was stalking Crystal, and Lucas wanted to protect her?” Joy added.
Crystal spoke loudly into the mic, “Everyone move down onto your mats for our final sequence.”
“Finally, thank you,” Joy said a little too loudly and rolled over onto her back. She stretched out, feeling every muscle in her body crying out for a warm bath or a dip in the ocean.
“Joy, we can't stay.” Sara Beth was already packing up her things.
“Shoot. I completely forgot.” Joy sat up in a hurry, remembering an important meeting she had with a brand new client.
A bottle of sweet tea dropped out of Sara Beth's bag and hit the floor with a CLANG.
“Shhh,” a neighboring yogi hissed.
Joy peeled her tired body off of the sweaty mat. She tiptoed out of the studio with Sara Beth, giving Crystal an apologetic smile.
But Crystal was busy breathing.
