Another Glance

Daliah had spent most of the evening, following her visit to Mr. Meshram's house, reviewing Riko's case yet again.
No matter how she looked at it, she was certain that Mr. Meshram held the missing piece of the puzzle. She only needed to find the cracks in the story, and most of all, she had one chance to ask the right questions.

 
They were meeting in Magnolia Promenade Park the following day at 12 p.m.
She recalled a few details from the day before.
The fact that Mr. Meshram still displayed the wedding photograph of his first wife, Christine, who had been deceased for at least 16 years, was a little peculiar. Riko, his 2nd wife, only passed away a few months ago, after all.

She wished she had been allowed inside the house. That would have allowed her to look around for any photographs of Riko, even if their marriage technically only lasted one evening...
Maybe Riko's family was right: he could have only been after the life insurance policy.
The more she dug, the more bodies turned up, and Dario seemed to be in the middle of it all.
There was suddenly more pressure not to flub tomorrow's interview.
Daliah sighed deeply as she stopped in the doorway of her office. She took one last look at the case board.
A switch flicked in her head—Shayla Meshram. How did the girl handle her counselor suddenly becoming her stepmother?
