W present.
W.
Weston.
I called him.
He did not answer.
Good.
Because I would have said something cruel enough to complicate everything.
I called my attorney instead.
Not Rachel from the clinic.
Different Rachel.
Rachel Kim, family-law attorney.
I sent her photographs through the secure portal.
She called fifteen minutes later.
“Nadine, do not contact Weston about the notes tonight.”
“I know.”
“Do you?”
“No.”
May you like
“Then listen anyway.”
I did.
