“Yeah, no”—her mouth flicked up sympathetically—“it kind of threw me too, came a little out of nowhere. It was after Julia died, a couple weeks after, and I got this email out of the blue from Andie. I didn’t know her before then. We were the same age, at different schools, but we had a few mutual friends. I think she got my email from my Facebook profile, back when everyone was on Facebook. Anyway, it was a really sweet message, saying how sorry she was about Julia, and if I ever needed someone to talk to, I could talk to her.”
Maybe Andie found out her dad is a murderer. But why would she keep the brush? Maybe she didn’t put that together?
