... next to her. She was the poisoner of the family. He stabbed people, more often.

She was playing again with her necklace, in a conspicuous-yet-apparently-supposed-to-be-secretive way. She added a few drops from the vial to his glass, and stirred with her finger, careful to remember not to lick the wine off.
