"What? She came to you and asked you to directly plot Melanie's murder?" Marianne asked in amusement as her 'driver'
"Yes," he said, leaning back slightly as he sent her a look from the mirror, his voice low but tinged with something close to amusement. "But that isn't even the most interesting part." He let the pause hang before adding slowly, "The most interesting part is that she insists on doing it herself… and she's not entirely sure who the final target will be Melanie or Melody."
Marianne's eyebrow arched slowly at that. "You mean," she said, her tone sharpening with curiosity, "she hasn't decided whether she wants to be Melanie… or be Melody?"
He gave a short hum of agreement. "Exactly. I still don't understand how you managed to make her this obsessive. It's not just jealousy anymore-it's as if she's built her entire identity around rivalry for love."
