"You were in her room every day."
"Yes. You can tell them that. You can also tell them what you knew about the wedding when you helped with it."

She pulled her hand away from the box.
"The inheritance changed everything."
"It raised questions. I understand why."
I slid the papers across.
She read the notice, then the refusal, checking the dates.
"The inheritance changed everything."
"This doesn't prove you didn't know."
"No. It shows when I was formally notified and what I did afterward."
"You want me to say you're innocent?"
"I want you to say what you saw. You knew it wasn't a romance. You helped with the ceremony. You don't know that I expected money."
I slid the papers across.
She pushed the papers back.
"People will think I'm taking your side."
