--My proof is a verified source, Miss Fey. They've asked to remain anonymous, so I cannot name names, but nonetheless they were verified before printing. Furthermore, I have received a source after printing that Mr. Wright and Miss Maya Fey have freely admitted to breaking into an apartment that was owned by neither of them.
[Her policy was also quite firmly not to contact people about how they were going to wind up in the gossip column, but she didn't need to mention that.]
According to my source, Mr. Wright and Miss Maya Fey's excuse is that they broke into the apartment to investigate a friend who had gone missing. If that's true, then, yes, the attribution of "burglar" is incorrect, but it was made in good faith and without actual malice toward either of them at the time. It's natural if you saw people breaking into a dwelling you knew wasn't theirs to assume they were intending to steal from it, is it not?
Now... let's not be too hasty. If I can get this story verified, I'm more than happy to print an update and explanation next edition clarifying the situation. Maybe you would be willing to contact them both and let them know they should get in touch with me? It could certainly quicken the process. Sss, sss, sss.
[She held her breath, waiting to hear if she'd be satisfied with that.]
