[MaC] Speculation in the Lounge

[Katie Fulton]

Only after Nicola had done so did Vangie open her own clutch purse and
produce a small bottle, which she handed to Richard almost absentmindedly.
Her sharp gaze was on the contents of the purse dumped out on the settee.

Richard accepted it, uncapped it, and wafted it under the fallen wife's
nose. And while it seemed most of his attention was on her, he did seem to
have a spare eye for the bag as well.
