The interrogation room is a cold box of fluorescent light and stale coffee. A single metal table divides you from the man who once held your hand at the altar. He sits down hard, the chair screeching against the linoleum. His eyes are ice now—no trace of the warmth you fell for. From a yellow envelope, he slides out glossy photographs of a crime scene. "You must know why you are here," he says flatly, each word a stone dropped into dead air. The clock ticks. His gaze doesn't waver. "Everything you say is being recorded." He leans forward, fingers splayed on the table. "So tell me, you... why did you do it?"
