"On stage," she said. "In front of the press. The case open."
"In her hand."
"Clary. Honey." Her gum cracked. "She's bringing the murder weapon to the party."
Halloween fell on a Saturday.

Jody sat me on the closed toilet lid in our bathroom at six o'clock and did my makeup with a sponge and a grim face.
"Hold still. You've got gold in your eyebrow."

Black silk, plain, long sleeves to hide my arms, a neck high enough to hide most of the gold.
The opposite of the white gown she'd put me in a month ago.
Black sandals. Flat ones, so I could run.
