Frances nodded, chin in his hand in deep thought. "That does seem like a more proportional response." he agreed. "Right now he's our only suspect." He pulled out his phone and started scrolling through Jared's social media account he'd dug up. "Jared seemed to live alone, his family lives elsewhere, didn't see any indication of..."

His eyes widened. "Look at this!" The feed showed several angry interactions with a particular woman, followed by a status update that Jared was now single. ((Leaving it vague in case you wanted to add details))

Ripley craned her neck to see. The woman was a dyed blonde, reasonably tall, and very angry. Without asking, Ripley reached over and scrolled back several pictures. Even when she didn't look angry, she always seemed peeved about something. She could have been pretty, but that constant look of annoyance and dissatisfaction stole from that beauty. Jerad was usually somewhere in the picture, smiling brightly, but many times it seemed forced. The exact reason for why they broke up was absent from the feed, but it seemed pretty obvious.

"The question is, I think, who broke up with who," Ripley announced. "I mean, look at her face. She's so not happy, so if she broke up with him, all good, but if he broke up with her? Man! She doesn't look like the type to allow that. Not one bit!"

The waitress stopped by to refill Ripley's cup and glanced at them curiously. She raised her brow at the pictures but said nothing. What kids got up to was none of her business.
