“Everything all right here?” she asked, her gaze fixed
on Ethan, a hard look in her eyes.
“I’m sorry,” Ethan said.
He righted the table and picked up Diver’s tankard.
Kannice squatted down beside him and began to mop
up the spilled ale with her cloth.
“I can do that,” he told her.
“I’ve got it,” she said, the words clipped.
“I’m sorry, Kannice. I know how you hate this sort

She nodded, but said nothing more.
Ethan straightened and watched as she finished
cleaning up his mess. Diver held himself still, his lips
pursed, steadfastly avoiding Ethan’s gaze.
When at last Kannice stood up again, Ethan said, “I
owe apologies to both of you.”
Diver and Kannice shared a brief look.
“I think we’ll both be glad when you’re done with
this job,” Kannice said.
“I am.”
They stared at him.
“You know who killed her?” Kannice asked.
