"Strange. It's like it's glued on," Veronika says, reaching up to gingerly pry the mirror from the wall.
Gord cranes his neck, trying to look around her as she pulls it down.
" #Euphoria," she whispers.
"Huh?" he says, perplexed.
"That's what's written on the wall," she says, stepping aside.

"What's up?" Gord asks, padding over to her.
"The cracks. You don't see crazing like this on old mirrors. Not unless they've been flexed a lot," she says, thinking.
"Flexed?"
She peers at the wall. In the dim light, she can see the #velveteen wallpaper has been disturbed around the mirror.

As Gord turns right, her attention is piqued by the mirror on the opposite wall. Approaching it, she sees that its surface is laced with a network of #gossamer-fine cracks. It's not likely from an impact, she concludes, as they don't radiate from a single point.
"Is it crazed?" she whispers.

"It's not too late, Gord," Veronika says quietly, touching his arm. "You can turn this around, you know."
Gord coughs, changes the subject. "A lot of rooms up here. Which one is the bathroom?"
Noting the door opposite the mirror rimmed with #mignonette lace, Veronika says, "That one!"

"We don't #canoodle anymore," he says quietly, climbing the stairs.
"You're a bankrupt, compulsive-gambling, alcoholic loser...who bungles cases and leaves me to clean them up. You're hardly a prime canoodling candidate, láska."
Gord's shoulders sag as he recognizes the truth of her words.

Gord pulls off his belt and throws it down to Veronika. "Use that for his feet. I'll just have to hope my pants don't fall down."
"I thought it was going to be a moonless night. Now, maybe not!" she says grinning.
"You're #insatiable, Verča. I'll just have to make sure I walk behind you."

Gord turns and heads up the stairs.
"Where are you going?" she says, a note of concern in her usually steady voice.
"You said Jed bit it in the bathtub. I've got a hunch. Wanna tag along?"
"I've got no #desire to babysit Mungo, but if he wakes up, only his hands are bound. He could run."

Ugh. Should be: "And carnations were involved*?*"

"You're telling me that crusty old Jedidiah Dedlock had a love child with a French woman in Aubagne? And carnations were involved. Wow! I've got the #inspiration for my next bodice ripper now!" Veronika marvels.
"Laugh if you want," Gord says, unperturbed. "It's true and I've got the proof."

"I'm at LAX, baby. I'm in trouble..."

"The airport?" he said, confused. "What the hell are you doing there?"
