Summarize the key points of your blog post and leave your readers with something to think about. This could be a call to action, a question, or a prediction about what's next for Carmela Clutch.

July 8, 2024. 10:47 PM. My fingers ache from clutching my patent-leather tote too long. Air conditioning’s out in this rat’s nest of an office. The fan just wobbles—doesn’t cool. Across my desk, Mr. Harrington’s diamond pinky ring taps a rhythm on the wood. Tap. Tap. Tap. “Miss Clutch,” he says, “I was told you’re the one to call when the police hit a wall.” I unclench my left hand just long enough to slide a notepad closer. The fan oscillates. His shadow stretches. And that’s when I notice: the cufflinks don’t match. Harrington’s hiding something. But in this heat, everyone is.

Notice: no omniscient view of Harrington’s thoughts. Only what Carmela sees, hears, and feels.
