TABBY TELLS ME KEEGAN doesn’t like her. “He wanted it to just be him and Mark, single for the summer.” She rolls her eyes and stares at her fingernails, dark purple today.
“I went to see him,” I say. “Keegan. He said he has a message for you.”
The arch of her left eyebrow is so small I almost miss it. Almost.
“Oh, really? Why would you go to see him? Stay away from him, Bridge. He’s not a good guy.”
“I don’t need to be protected. He wanted me to tell you he’s not sorry at all.”
She smiles. “Yeah, I bet he’s not.”
“What was he even talking about, Tabby?”
She leans forward, so close our foreheads are almost touching. Her summer freckles have all but faded. “You’ll see.”

Blue-Eyed Boyfriend Killer trial to commence
By Julie Kerr
The trial of Tabitha Cousins, the 17-year-old accused of first-degree murder after the hiking death of her boyfriend, Princeton student Mark Forrester, will commence Monday morning at El Paso County Courthouse in Colorado Springs. Cousins has already entered a not guilty plea, and is being represented by powerhouse attorney Marnie Deveraux, who has told the press that the evidence is irrefutable that her client is innocent.
“The truth will come out,” Deveraux said in an exclusive statement last week. “You can be sure of that.”
District Attorney Anthony Paxton said justice will be served for Forrester’s family.
