“We were having dinner together, just normal soup and bread. About thirty minutes after we ate, Marcus said he didn’t feel well. Then he collapsed and started shaking. I’ve never seen anything like it.”
Detective Rivera was writing everything down in her notebook.
“Did your husband have any health problems, heart issues, allergies, anything like that?”
“No, he was perfectly healthy. He just had a physical exam last month, and everything was fine.”
The detective looked around our kitchen, taking pictures of everything.
She bagged our soup bowls and the pot Marcus had used to cook dinner.
“Ma’am, I have to ask this, but were you and your husband having any problems, any fights or disagreements recently?”
This was the moment I had been dreading.
“No, we were very happy together. Marcus was always so supportive of my business. I owned several hotels, and he was proud of my success.”
