"Do you feel anything?" The love potion tasted as awful as it had smelled, which is saying something because it smelled pretty gods damnedly awful.
"Yes, pity." Valerie snarled and took the flask away from me. I was just being honest!
"You are terrible."
"I said I'd help, I did not say I'd do a good job of helping." In my defense (as always) I did tell her it was impossible to make a real functional love potion.
"Maybe I should do the same for your little vile of blood and not figure out what killed your jilted husband."
"He wasn't jilted, he was just worried his wife was trying to kill him, and I don't know you very well Valerie, but I can see the light in your eyes, you want to figure out what killed that guy as much as I do." I didn't exactly know that, as I couldn't see anything very well (a side effect of the love potion, which might have meant it was working, I mean love is blind right?)
"You're right, even though you're a dick, the mystery is interesting, but this blood sample is not enough, I'll need to test the body." I shook my head and it looked like she did not understand it.
"Not possible, or probable I don't think, pretty sure the guard won't let me anywhere near the body again." Dupont was abhorred when I took a blood sample, I couldn't imagine he'd let Valerie use her little chemicals on the full body. Also there was the fact I was going blind, that definitely seemed to make it difficult to get back to the body.
"Well it better become possible if you want to solve this, come on Mr. Lorentino I might have an in."
"You'll have to grab my hand."
"Why is the potion working and you feel something for me?"
"No I've lost my sight, but if this persists I will definitely feel something for you Valerie." Not love of course, though being blind would have been an interesting life decision for me as someone who has seen so many horrible things. Thankfully it did not last, well obviously it didn't I'm still doing journal entries with a minimal amount of spelling errors!
