It was a difficult drive, but the detectives were on their trail to the spot of crime.
“Why do you think anybody would want to abduct a poor, penniless beauty?”
“Establishing a motive in a crime of passion takes time and effort. We cannot jump to conclusions.”
“Sure, we cannot and should not. But what made you think of that?”
“That heart-shaped pothole with three dissimilar shapes. It could be a clash of interests or personalities.”
A little later, they found the strangulated dead body lying in the forest.
“Oh, my God! We are late.”
“Yes. My instincts were right. Now, we track the complainant’s wife.”
I thought of Princess Diana’s famous reply
“Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded,” Maybe, I was jumping to conclusions too fast.

Three in a relationship rarely works, but then again two in a relationship sometimes does not work. Your story has reminded me of a long forgotten family story, thank you.
