Amy came home rather late.
“Hard day?” Nils asked.
“Interesting,” she said. She unwrapped the large parcel she was carrying and set it against the wall. A painting. “Recognize it?” she asked.
“Mmm, yeah, it looks a bit familiar.”
“Right,” said Amy. “I believe that’s your signature in the lower righthand corner.”
“Mmm,” Nils repeated. “Um, how did you... ?”
“I met with Tamar. The woman in the painting. The painting you did of her not quite a year ago. Our agency is handling the estate sale.”
“Estate sale?”
She was divorced not too long ago. Her deadbeat husband’s on the lam, and she’s selling everything.”
“I see,” Nils said.
“Yeah, we had an interesting conversation about men. By the way, she didn’t know who I was. Or rather didn’t know of our involvement. She’s selling the house, too, but we’re not involved with that. Just the goods.”
“The goods,” Nils said.
“Some of the goods are pretty good,” Amy said.
“Like the painting.”
“I’m not sure I like it,” Amy said. “As you may remember, her husband, the lout, the lout currently on the lam, commissioned it for their first anniversary. A portrait of his loving wife. Except she wasn’t quite so loving by then, he having revealed himself one time too many as, well, as a man unfit to be a husband.”
“I only met him once,” Nils said.
“But you met Tamar quite often, I understand. More than a few sittings.”
“You know I’m something of a perfectionist.”
Amy nodded. “She said she enjoyed sitting for you. Over a glass of wine, two glasses, actually, two bottles actually, she told me she had something of a crush on you. She at first didn’t want to do the portrait at all. By that time she knew she was leaving him, but you made an impression, so she went through with it.”
“I think I captured her pretty well,” Nils said. “You can kind of see the dissatisfaction in her eyes. But I didn’t know she and her husband were splitting.”
