Kindle Notes & Highlights
Freya needs to be able to tell us what she wants. She bites her lips when I pull away. “I think we should do the cognitive interview.” A cognitive interview is a relatively new interview technique designed to increase memory recall in witnesses. It’s our best chance of finding out more about Freya’s mother but River had warned us all not to push too hard to get Freya to agree. She needs to come to the decision in her own time.
She hasn’t noticed me yet, too caught up in her own world. Her frustration builds and she digs her nails into her arm, dragging them across the skin hard enough to leave red marks behind. Yeah, that’s not fucking happening. I stride over to her, not bothering to avoid stepping on the papers, and pull her to standing. She blinks up at me. “There are only four people in this world who are allowed to mark you and you’re not one of them,” I tell her. Only River, Jude, Oz, and I get that pleasure.
