A Diamond Must Shine

It'd been a while since Claudia's last "spa day", or her last participation in what passed for such a thing here in the Deck. Granted, it wasn't up to New York standards, but Claudia couldn't deny it was well worth the effort; she'd taken the entire afternoon off to be pampered with manicure, pedicure, facial, deep tissue massage and heavenly soak in a cleansing tropical bath. All of which had done wonders for her mood.

Which was why, just now, the Nine of Diamonds was rather comfortably ensconced in the library with a few files and her laptop, sipping hot tea and listening to quiet classical music on the stereo, even humming along during certain parts. Her cell phone beeped every so often, but Claudia just ignored the ring; her mother was the absolute last person she wanted to speak with just now.

That would ruin the entire reason for her earlier outing.

"Much appreciated, Claudia." Avery's smile was just as false, and blindingly bright. "Have a lovely evening."

Hers wouldn't be. But someone had to take meetings with the families of the missing Diamonds , after all.
