Well... guess that proves that you ‘see’ what you want to see. My brain left the ‘fiance’ out of the first sentence. And ‘apartment’ vs. ‘hotel’, I must have used up that one last brain cell last week some time.
It’s just that the whole play of the story was about her, and nothing mentioned about him, other than he was there. Almost as if he just stood there, and the cops didn’t even notice him. (which may have been true).
I apologize. The confusion was all mine.
No problem. I think we’ve all overlooked something at one point or another.
I do wonder if the story would have been different if it was female cops ordering the guy to get out of bed naked.
