Writing Quote of the Day

Sarah leaned forward, her elbows on the table. "Look, was he shot or what? I mean, there was a lot of blood. It wasn't just a heart attack or something simple." In the other corner of the small break room, Phyllis Cole, Tom Pollard's secretary sat with a woman who Sarah assumed was another police detective. Phyllis wasn’t crying--or even talking as far as Sarah could tell--she was just looking at the table and shredding a tissue in her tightly clenched hands.

O'Grady looked up at her sharply. "Did you enter his office?"

Sarah's voice was mildly amused. "Well, yes. What did you think I would do?"

"I would think you would leave it to the police to investigate."

"Life must be a constant series of disappointments to you."

In the interests of full disclosure, I have not necessarily written the quote I put up on the day I put it up. But I have written today. No writing, no quote.
