Stranger By The Lake Page #4

I'm just gonna say hi.

I'll wait here.

You OK?

Doesn't your boyfriend mind?

I just wanted to say hi.

That's sweet.

Are you in a bad mood?

Why would I be?

Dunno, it looks like it.

It has nothing to do with you.

I'm kind of depressed today.

Do you want to be alone?

If I said no, would you stay?

You're being silly.

I can stay a while.

If you want we can talk.

I'm not on the clock.

Go join him.

How about dinner tonight?

My treat this time.

You still don't spend

your evenings together?

So how's the...

Excuse me, may I ask

you a few questions?

Who, me?

Yes, you. And in private.

On Tuesday night, might I

ask who you were with?

Someone who could confirm

you were together?

- You think it was murder?

- We still don't know.

It would seem the victim

wasn't a bad swimmer.

Well?

Well?

I don't know his name.

Not even a first name?

You stay together till dusk

without introducing yourselves?

Or exchanging numbers?

No, sorry.

It happens.

How do you see each other again?

Maybe we won't.

You're with a man

who makes time fly,

and you don't try to see him again?

It's a small world, right?

You must all know each other.

Not necessarily.

But it's not like I

spend my time cruising.

Are you sure he was gay?

He had no female

companions we know of.

But that doesn't mean much.

Still, for such a handsome man...

I've kept you long enough.

Did you meet him here?

Swimming or cruising?

We cruised each other

while swimming.

Not bad.

And what was wrong with him?

Hasn't the Inspector

asked enough questions?

You don't answer his.

So you can answer mine.

Why should I? Are you

investigating me?

Well, if they found

my lover drowned,

especially one from the previous

day, I'd be kind of upset.

You don't think I'm upset?

I don't think you really care.

Maybe you weren't getting along?

Well, wise up, I do care.

Especially if he was murdered.

You really think it was murder?

How should I know?

A good swimmer like him?

He wasn't bad, but...

He wasn't bad, but...

good swimmer or no, you

can have an accident.

I'm going in.

Coming?

We have the lake to ourselves.

No.

Someone just drowned.

Come on.

There are two of us,

what can happen?

Go on, I'll watch.

You can swim without me.

OK.

- I'm coming.

- Me too.

You gonna have dinner

and go to bed alone?

It's stupid. Why

don't you come over?

I already told you, I don't

want to get too attached.

I need some time off.

What's love if you

need time off from it?

And the joy of being reunited?

If we need to be apart just

to be together, that's dumb.

That'll get old real quick.

Did you tell the cops I

was here that night?

No. I don't even know your name.
