[ She couldn't anticipate how or with what he would start. If she had, that question wouldn't be it. Jess couldn't be sure. It was between a slow stream of unremarkable cases and she often marked time by her jobs or by her sister's visits, which were more regular these days. ]

I found out a while after I met you, a while before you showed up again. [ It was a curiosity she picked up and put down on a couple separate occasions. When she hit upon his wife's death, she told herself she'd stop, then came back to it to learn a little more about his sentencing.

It was easily accessible information so Jess didn't feel particularly guilty about it, though it was a length someone in a different profession might not go to. Plus she'd had no reason to think she'd see him again. She watched him for anger or insult as she took a seat on the bed. ]
