Did you love him?
Who me? Don’t be ridiculous.
Did you send him that letter?
Certainly not. I would not.
Did you take the photos?
Of him and that girl? No, wasn’t me.
Did you tamper with his car?
And what do I know about cars? You think me a mechanic? I’m not.
Did you kill him?
You mean those hemlock seeds found in his pepper-grinder? Do you have my fingerprints?
Yes.
Then what use my denial?

Or maybe she was still in love with him, and wanted him to know she still cared. After all, one rarely poisons people to whom one is simply indifferent. Not in proper society. No, the way we handle those is by shooting them. Indifference combined with just a touch of vicious inhumanity can feel so liberating.
And just in case you’re wondering, all my ex-lovers are still alive. So where can I buy some hemlock seed?
