Natalie's eyes sparkled with conviction as she leaned in, her voice taking on a lawyerly tone. "I think he's very likely to be Karen's ex-boyfriend," she said, her words dripping with certainty.

As a lawyer, Natalie's instincts were honed to spot connections and inconsistencies. And in this case, the pieces were falling into place.
