Athena interrupted with sudden intensity. "I <em>told</em> you." It seems that she knows she has made a wrong assumption about why Barry followed her. <blockquote><em><strong>tran nam</strong>: Either that or she felt upset for being involved in someone's death at all...

I hate to be a party-pooper, but in that case, you might like to correct Athena's sudden, unexplained name change: "Barry missed seeing *Sally* cross the street ahead of him, however, as he was glancing backwards again at Colin."

I hate to be a party-pooper, but in that case, you might like to correct Athena’s sudden, unexplained name change:

“Barry missed seeing *Sally* cross the street ahead of him, however, as he was glancing backwards again at Colin.”

Nevertheless — an outstanding piece of writing. Thank you for sharing it.

Morton: No party-pooping there at all. Thanks for the catch. And the compliment.
